1. Attention-Snatching Headlines

This is what every potential reader will see first, and hence it is one of the most vital factors in securing an audience. A great headline secures attention and invites a click. Here go some tips for great headlines:

Use Numbers: For whatever reason, headlines that contain numbers seem to do better. Take “5 Tips for a Healthier Lifestyle,” for example. In an instant, it will tell them that they are going to read something useful and it shall be an easy read.

A headline in question form raises curiosity. Example- “Are You Making These Common Writing Mistakes?”-This engages the readers as they are made to ponder over their writing habits.

Be Specific: Instead of vague titles, clear insight into what will be dealt with in the article must be provided. For example, a headline like “How to Increase Your Productivity in 7 Days” gives the reader an assured expectation.

You can also use tools like CoSchedule’s Headline Analyzer to see where you can optimize your headline to have the most impact.
