Your tweets are the only way for you to make an impression on your Twitter followers. With only 140 characters to make that impression, it may seem impossible.

However, crafting tweets that encourage people to visit your website is easy. And, I will provide you with sure-fire Twitter headline templates that help you do it.

How a 70 Year-Old Headline Template Helped Me Attract Around 30,000 Visits to My Website

You, my loyal readers, know “How I Went Viral On Twitter.” I used copywriting to create a high-impact Twitter headline and I was successful.

What I didn’t tell you was that I borrowed the headline from Dale Carnegie’s 70 year-old book, “How to Win Friends and Influence People.”

I knew that most people on Twitter — including me — want more followers. And I knew his headline would address this desire perfectly.

Here is the headline I ended up using: “How to Attract and Influence People on Twitter.” It is a carbon copy of Carnegie’s headline, but this is how the best magazine editors and direct marketers do it. They take a proven headline template and reuse it for additional success.

And now, you can do it too.
