More Headline Titles you can use (continued)

in #blog7 years ago

Click-bait titles are important to grab peoples’ attention to your blog posts. So here is some more you can use.

 

For most people, it's hard to think up Headline titles. But after a while you’ll see, you'll get in the` groove’. 

  • First consider possible trending keywords that suit your topic and are within your content. 
  • Then with tongue in cheek have fun playing with words. Put them together to make short crisp direct sentences. Knock out unnecessary words and rearrange if necessary. 
  • You lose people very quickly with long sentences for titles. Their thought is, if the title is boring and that long, so will the blog’s content be too! 
  • Make sure it’s something everyone wants or needs badly. Would they really want to click on it to find out more about what you are implying by your title? 
  • Put spark into the statement. Does it sound fun? What does it suggest? Make it catchy, somewhat like a `upbeat’ billboard advert statement
  • How clear is the meaning of your title? Does it get to the point of what you are offering in your content? Would it `clinch the deal’? The ‘deal’ meaning the reason to click and read the whole blog content from beginning to end.

If you have been reading my previous blog posts,

Great post with lots of good examples.

Here are two examples of playing around with a couple examples, along with some additions:

=> 20 ways to cope with stress(no. 8 is the easiest)

When the reader sees "no. 8 is the easiest" the article becomes a must read due to the curiosity created.

=> [NEW]10 ways to be rich

So there may be several such article titles but the prefix [NEW] makes the reader sense that there is something new and unique inside this article.

Have upvoted and followed.

Love it, the way you responded to the post on titles.
Yes, those are very good points to consider. Thank you.

That makes sense. Thanks for the aditional suggestions :D

Can you imagine what a difference it could make to your own blog posts?

Yet it would my posts sound like any other recycled trash on the internet. Audience that matters has outgrown this kind of sensationalism. These titles will attract the wrong type of viewers — the ones you don't really wish to be the heart and soul of your "revolutionary" platform.

These suggested headline titles are just ideas, there for folks to adjust to their own niche and topic. To be used as a springboard, in learning how to think up better click-bait headlines of their own. The point of the matter is getting to the point of what people really need and want to read about, in a few catchy words, like newspapers use.

Hey that's very good advice, I even put this article on my bookmarks, I will let you know when I use this, thank you 😃❤

I also like to bookmark good blog posts. We need reminders to keep on track.

Upvoted and also resteemed :]

I had to copy these title suggestions for future use. So grateful that you shared :) Upvoted and resteemed

It's great to help others. Making it a game to make new headlines... makes it easier and easier to think up new ones.

How clear is the meaning of your title? Does it get to the point of what you are offering in your content?

I find that to be one of the most important points you touch on.

If you want your post to be successful, your title should be at least as good as the content you're providing underneath the Title itself.

Thanks for the post, quality information right here.

Yes, you're right. Your content must support your statement. Give them what you suggested in your headline.

Great post. Thanks.

A very good post very good achievement greetings from me @ abupasi.alachy

Thanks for explaining that,it's a very clever concept yet quite easy to follow once you understand the idea of suggested titles .Look forward to reading more of your posts.

Having had my own website and done a lot of research to improve it, I felt I must share what I learnt. Of cause my niche been an art website has to be handled somewhat differently than the usual website. Why, because they don't trend as much as health, food, games, sports, news, etc.

Would love to share your knowledge,thanks.
