In Session #15, Flint McGlaughlin teaches three penetrating questions that can help you craft high-impact sub-headlines. Here are some of the most important insights from this class:
– Even a weak headline, if powered by a strong sub-headline, can win.
– Best is better than better, but better is still better than bad.
– Encapsulate the essence of the offer in the top four inches of the page.
– Give them just enough content at the top of the page to help win their engagement with the rest of the page.

Testimonial
“My girls are safe
Thank you to Ten by Three for restoring my family. When you found me, poverty had already forced me to send my oldest girls to the street. I prayed every night that they would find a way to survive. After you started buying my baskets, I was able to rescue my girls and bring them home. Now everyone is safe, finishing school, and our stomachs are full. Thank you for making us a family once again." – Afaama Asariga
