Headline Help

Are You Spending Enough Time on Your Headlines? (Hint: Good Headlines = Views)

Here’s how to write a kickass title every time.

Your headline is the #1 most important part of your article.

It doesn’t matter if every other piece of your article is perfect. A bad headline = no views.

To ensure I always write an amazing headline, I write my headlines 5–10 times.

For example, yesterday I posted this article:

Here are the options I wrote after drafting:

I went with headline #8. I used #4 as my subtitle.

My first option is good. #8 is much better.

Here’s an article I published this morning:

These are the headlines I drafted up:

I only drafted 8 this time because I knew #7 was perfect.

How did I know it was perfect?

  1. It uses numbers 3 times
  2. It inspires curiosity
  3. It makes use of my shocking statistic (714% faster)

What headlines did I draft for this article?

I chose #5 for my headline and #10 for my subtitle.

Which would you have chosen? Let me know in the comments!

Thanks for reading!
