Diligently we write our blog articles and provide our readers with good quality information but nana’s apple pies, it is not nana that gets the attention but the warm and delicious smell of buttery baking pastry. Headlines need to be as irresistable as the smell of frying bacon, or in season the perfume of honeysuckle you scent walking past a house.

I was fully reminded of this fact when I received a fwd fwd email that I am herwith forwarding to my blog. Sorry to take a crack at all you guys out there and I’m sure that someone will transgender it and get their own back soon!  I admit from a feminine perspective that reading it was irresistable. Couched in marketing or advertising speak, it takes a toungue in cheek look at men and as a by product at the headlines we choose to present our tutorials or other products.

From this little gem of copywriting we can garner a lot of information. Double speak is fine to use – people who get it will laugh and people who don’t will believe you. Either way it gets people’s attention, it’s all true! AND it makes you laugh. You don’t need purple cows or aliens to get attention – all you need to do is tell the truth (about something that’s not politically correct or is taboo).
