Several years ago, I worked as an editor on a daily newspaper. I didn't write the stories, but it was my job to make sure they all appeared on the page -- and that as many people were attracted to read them as possible.

No page was more important than the front page. And no story on that page was more important than the 'splash' -- the biggest story in the whole paper.

So guess which story got the most attention? And guess which part of that story got the most care lavished on it?

Of the entire newspaper, the big headline on the front page was given top priority.

Why was this?

Because the editors knew it was this element of the entire newspaper that was most responsible for daily sales. So the headline had to be the best it could be.

But there's no point in having a headline if all people do is read the headline and move on. The main purpose of any headline in your newsletter is to get the story underneath it read.

So here's a quick checklist for eye-popping headlines:

• Your headline should indicate the article contains information that is useful to readers
• Your headline should indicate the article contains information that is interesting to readers
• Your headline should inform readers about the content of the article but be leave enough unsaid to intrigue readers to read the entire article
• Your headline should be an accurate representation of the article -- in other words, it shouldn't mislead people i

        Increase Your Chances of Repeat-Funding By Staying In Touch With Grant Makers
        When a grant is approved, you should read your award letter as carefully as you did the application before you applied because the letter should outline how often the Funder expects to hear from you. Read through it and find out how many formal reports they expect from you. If you are unsure, contact them and ask. Many will ask for a mid-point and final report. Eve
