Why Catchy Headlines Matter

September 19, 2014 by Taylor McGlamery

The title of your article is the all-important first impression of your content for readers. A strong title communicates that your post has the information readers are looking for, while also standing out from the plethora of similar, competing content found in print or online. Creating catchy headlines isn’t just important for your blog, but it is also important when writing social media posts and a variety of other marketing materials. As the amount of content continues to grow on the Internet, remember that your customers are looking for relevant titles that catch their attention!

Strong Blog Post Titles

Here are a few tips to keep in mind when writing titles for your content,  in addition to a few ideas to get you started:

  • Write your headline first.
  • Be creative with your title.
  • Get to the point.
  • Use relevant keywords associated with the topic of your article.
  • Make sure your headline benefits the reader in some way.
  • Try list posts, which are quick and easy reads for your customers. – “Top 10 Reasons…”, or “7 Best…”
  • Start your title off with “why” or “how to”. These types of posts often add educational value (ie. read title of this blog)
  • Ask a question – “Who else wants ____?”
  • Tell a secret – or make them think it. “The Secret to ___”
  • Is there exciting news to share? Announce it in your title!
