WRITING TIPS

1 Tip on How to Create the Best Titles for Your Stories, Articles, or Blog Posts that Will Get Clicks

With 5 examples

Tip: Stretch and flesh out the title to be all that it can be with searchable keywords.

That’s it!

Below, I use some of my story titles to illustrate. As this is not meant to be a plug for my work, I am not making the titles hyperlinks.

I am including before and after examples of how fleshing out a title enhances its relevance, clickability, and searchability.

Example 1

Before: How to Make Money Online

After: 10 Tips on How to Make Money Online ($100-$1000 a month or more) Freelancing from Home

Keywords and Phrases: “Tips to Make Money”, “Tips to Make Money Online”, “How to Make Money”, “How to Make Money Online”, “Make Money Online”, “Freelancing Tips”, “Make Money from Home”, “Freelancing from Home”, “Make $100 a month”, “Make $1000 a month from Home”, etc.

As you can see, the search phrases that people could use to find your post are many, and this includes both within and outside of Medium searches.

Below, I’ll just do the before and after and let you identify the keywords and phrases yourself.

Example 2

Before: Why Some People Put Others Down

After: 5 Reasons Why Some People Use Rankism to Demean Others to Make Themselves Feel Better

Example 3

Before: 17 Healthy Anti-aging Habits

After: 17 Healthy Anti-aging Habits to Fight the Effects of Aging, Feel More Youthful, and Look Younger

Example 4

Before: Why It’s Hard to Let Go of Someone

After: Why It’s So Hard to Let Go of Someone You Love Who Has Let Go of You

Example 5

Before: My Personal Experience with Alzheimer’s Disease

After: My Up Close and Personal Experience with Alzheimer’s Disease, Memory Loss and Dementia

Take away

Adding extra keywords will go a long way to get your titles noticed and clicked on. All it takes is a little brainstorming and putting yourself in your readers’ shoes to think of what they would be looking for relative to the content in your post.
