6 methods to write catchy titles

in #blog7 years ago (edited)

Most of the time, the difficult part of creating a post is actually finding an appropriate title. We think it must be enought attractive, convincing, relevant to the subject being treated, neither to be too long nor too short to capture the reader's attention ...

​Perhaps you have written an extraordinary article that deserves to be read but which, due to a badly chosen title, will not be read! To attract the attention of the reader immediately, you need to find smart ways to choose the title.

So how can we basically create such a title?

There are a lot of techniques that can help you to better understand the difference between a banal title and an effective title.

Your title needs to be catchy. The title should show the benefit of the reader if he / she goes over the text. People want to know what the advantages they have if they spend 5 minutes reading it, and are no longer willing to waste time. In other words, in the quest for precious information for limited time, people want to know from the beginning what to expect when they click.

​Start by writing the article and finally extract the keyword that defines it. There may even be more keywords, but at the end you have to decide on one or two, which you can combine in a phrase. The key phrase must fully define everything that surprises your article.

If you read this post means that my title has been attractive enough, and you need to know how to improve the titles from your blog.

1. Use numbers

The numbers inserted inside a title increase its level of credibility. Generally, people tend to have more confidence in surveys and statistical data. So as long as you have some specific information, do not forget to integrate them into your title.

eg: Participate in the contest and win 15 SBD

2. Use strong words in the title that bring emotion and create an impression.

Here are a few words or emotional expressions that you may have heard on TV ads: best, right now, easy, lucky, learn, discover, attractive, fascinating, excellent, extraordinary, Unusual, exclusive, effortless, remarkable, magnificent, astonishing, ideal, superior, innovative, inventive, strong, persuasive, trustworthy, secure, secret, free of charge.

3. Solve a problem

You still know from the title that going through your article solves a specific problem for the reader. We are surrounded by more or less relevant information for us and that is why we are very selective with what we read and we want to see from the title that is exactly the benefit we have from reading it. We all like to spend time on things that interest us, and the article can simply select the target by such a technique.

eg: How to get rid of extra pounds without too much effort

4. Ask a question

Questions get our curiosity. You can successfully use them as headlines, while providing information to refer to the content of the article. It is very important to answer to your question in the article, otherwise you will only be exasperating your readers.

eg: How does the sugar destroy your health?

5. Includes tops

People want to know that relevant information has been selected for them. So, charts are effective ways to attract readers' attention, but it also helps you to structure your information in a few key points.

eg: Top 10 tricks to make tasty cakes

6. Make it exclusive

Having access to information that is unavailable to the general public raises curiosity. People want to find out new things and especially want to know things before others.

eg: What doctors do not tell you about herbs
