RE: A Minnowmentor Explains....Want to get more upvotes on your posts?

in #writing7 years ago

Yes, I couldn't agree more. The point I was making is NOT to be clickbait, but recognise WHY clickbait works. When there are millions of posts flying about steemit, your title is the elevator pitch. And the content has to be great too of course...but if people don't click on the post, they will never see the content, and that's just too bad.

So many times I have clicked on a post and really truly engaged with a minnow because their title drew me in...I was attracted from the second I saw it.

And conversely, I'm sure I've missed hundreds of posts I would really have enjoyed simply because I skimmed past the title.

I'm not at all saying be clickbaity...I'm saying recognise the psychological impact of your title, and utilise it. People deserve to see your great writing. So let them know in the first 5 seconds why they should stop and click....
