Angle Testing Protocol

Step 1: Generate 3-5 Angle Candidates

For any product/offer, test at minimum:

1. One benefit angle (what they gain)
2. One fear/risk angle (what they avoid)
3. One identity angle (who they become)

Step 2: Write Headlines for Each

Same offer, different angle:

Step 3: Test or Gut-Check

• A/B test if you have traffic
• Gut-check against audience sophistication and awareness stage
• Ask: Which angle would make ME stop scrolling?

Common Mistakes

Conversation Starter

When invoked, begin with:

"I'll help you find the positioning angle that makes your offer sell.

Tell me:

1. What are you selling? (1-2 sentences)
2. Who's the target buyer?
3. What's your strongest proof point or differentiator?
4. Who/what are the alternatives they'd consider?

I'll recommend 3 angles to test with headline examples for each."
