5 Free Ways to Create Killer Blog Title Ideas

Sometimes you might need a little help coming up with titles for your articles

Did you know that studies show that 80% of people will read ONLY your blog titles? And that’s it — 8 out of 10 people won’t go any further to read what your article is about unless they are interested in the headline first.

Wow. I did not know that. I just found this out recently.

I also found out that people will pay more attention to the first 3 words and the last 3 words of your headlines.

I didn’t know that either, until now.

This is why it’s important to get people’s attention with your headlines and topic choices. People are busy and on various websites all day long, and there’s so much content that they can pick and choose what they what to read, so you’ve got to nab them quickly, within a few seconds.

As you can see just on this website, people are making small and large fortunes from their blogs, but this is only possible if people click on and read the stories.

How to Create Endless, Clickable Blog Titles

Creating catchy blog titles that get clicked can be hard. One of the best ways to help you brainstorm to think of a never-ending stream of blog title ideas is to use an idea generator. You can find some free ones online.

Here are 5 of my top picks

1. Seopressor.com: This one is my favorite. It gives you the most comprehensive title suggestions, and it even lets you choose whether the keywords you plug in are generic terms, a brand/product, an event, an industry, a location, a person’s name, or a skill.
2. Title-Generator.com: This is my second favorite. When you type in your keywords, it returns up to 700 title ideas.
3. InboundNow.com: With this one, you just click to generate an idea, and the tool comes up with partial titles for you with blanks for you to fill in to finish the titles.
4. Portent.com: This title idea generator is good but depending on the words you plug in, you may need to use your imagination to finish the titles it suggests.
5. Hubspot.com: This website also has a generator for blog topics and titles that gives you the option of adding up to 5 keywords.

Analyze Your Titles

When you decide on a title, it would be a good idea for you to then use an analyzer tool, so that you can make the most of your choice and have a better chance of making the title clickable or viral.

Here is an excellent blog title analyzer: Headline Studio. You will need to sign up for it but it’s free and worth it.

That’s it! You never have to be at a loss for thinking of creative blog titles again!
