It's amazing how effective bullets can change the results of the marketing purpose of any page, whether its a blog post or a sales page. Hopefully after reading this post, I'll see more positive results when I make some changes. Thanks for the read!

I'm glad James Brausch tipped me off about this site. I'm a great fan of his, so I blindly do whatever he says! :) But really, this is foundational stuff. And that's what I need right now. The more solid facts I can get my hands on in starting my online business the better. And there's too many people out there who are writing a bunch of fluff in hopes of making sales. I don't buy from fluffers. Their products are immediately suspect. BTW, I like the word fascinations. Is this your own made-up term? Or is it something that's actually in use out there? I looked it up on Glyphius (my Brausch software) and saw it scores at a very pleasant 88. So I think I'll be using the term myself! Hmmmm. I’m glad James Brausch tipped me off about this site.

One of the best writers of powerful headlines is Dr. Mercola. I don't care for his advise much but his headlines pack a punch. There are also tools that can analyze and grade your headlines based on thouands of factors. Headlines is what grabs the readers and carries them to the next paragraph and it should be the one area where you bring in all your weapons! Awesome post Brian.

There's another way to bring power into bullets--add narrative, character, conflict and setting. It wouldn't be appropriate every time, of course. But can you imagine a best practices bullet list of anecdotes? That would be <i>cool</i>. This reminds me of the 6 words stories in the current issue of Wired.
