1. H1 and subheadings

Highlight your SaaS's capabilities in headings and subheadings.

There are many ways. But we favor these three.

1.  Turn pain point into solution

For example:

  • Turn [.red]headache[.red] into [.green]“Ahh, nothing hurts anymore.”[.green]

Quirky and relatable. Taps into the emotional joy of relief.

  • Turn [.red]notes[.red] into [.green]content that converts[.green].

Short, punchy, and clear.

  • Turn [.red]workplace stress[.red] into [.green]daily jokes[.green].

Vivid and impactful.

Real example:

The copy maintains the core promise, yet it doesn’t truly target pains.

2. Use conflict strategy

Let’s say we’re selling running shoes.

Here is the headline:

[.red]Forget everything[.red] you know about running.

[.purple]Ditch the excuses.[.purple] [.pink]Lace up.[.pink] [.yellow]Rediscover what it feels[.yellow] like to [.blue]really run[.blue].

So, here is the formula:

[.red]conflict[.red] + [.purple]eliminating pain points[.purple] + [.pink]visualization[.pink] + [.yellow]excitement[.yellow] + [.blue]realization[.blue]

3. Use “no more” or “stop”

For example:

Stop repeating, [.red]“I hate going to the gym”.[.red]

It’s time to view [.green]exercise as an excitement[.green].

Formula: Stop [.red]“pain point”[.red]. It’s time to [.green]“turning pain points into excitement”.[.green]
