- "[Number] + [Specific Thing] + [in [Timeframe]]"
- Example: "7 Days to Your First 1,000 Email Subscribers"
### Form Best Practices
- Single field (email only) = highest conversion
- Place form above the fold
- Contrast button color from background
- Clear CTA: "Get My [Lead Magnet]" not "Submit"
### Above the Fold Must-Haves
1. Headline
2. Subheadline
3. Visual
4. Form
### Trust Elements Placement
- Before form (proof)
- After form (reassurance)
