LifeAfterCollege.org Launched!

Hi Everyone, I'm excited to announce the launch of LifeAfterCollege.org! It's still in the very early stages, but I wanted to send this announcement so you could take a look, spread the word and send any feedback you have my way! I thought of this concept two years ago, and by now realize many of my friends are past the point of "needing" a site like this. I'm hoping those of you who are can send me tips and words of wisdom you may have for those following in your footsteps. And if you're feeling generous, fill out a My Life After College form! I promise to only post your initials to keep it anonymous.

Have a great week!

Why Magnetic Headlines Are Crucial for Your Posts

Welcome to Rainmaker. This is a sample post to get you started on your journey. Don’t forget that your headline is the most important aspect of writing a great post, and getting readers to read your opening paragraph. The first four to six sentences of your post are critical, because if you don’t hook your audience, they will get bored and click away. What is the benefit you will provide readers that you promised in the title? Be sure to describe the signs of the problem you will offer a solution to toward the end of your post.

Use subheads to improve readability and gather interest

Here you can begin to describe the underlying causes of the problem you have the solutions to, using persuasive arguments and great storytelling, and readers will have no choice but to read more.

Subheads help readers scan your content quickly

Bullet points are helpful to keep your copy reader-friendly, and a proven standard for making a solid argument:

  • Tell a great story, but don’t over-write it. Be authentic!
  • Use internal cliffhangers to entice readers to read more.
  • Use a great image to make an impression on readers from the start.

Subheads draw readers’ attention to your call to action

When you provide real solutions and insights for your prospects and customers, you build trust and authority that will allow you to deepen the conversation further with an opt-in or call-to-action. Sign up here! This is where a compelling call to action makes it clear to your readers what they need to do next to implement your solution. Good luck!
