What kind of Title will you pick for your blog?



The power of a content was established by the power of the Headlines...

The title of the blog should force a user to click on it.

Sometimes it happens, when your content is not up to your brand, your catchy, 
attractive headline may boost your traffic of that blog.

Here are the approaches that can be helpful for creating a click magnet headline.


Show a smart way to solve a Problem:

Majority of the users search google to solve their problem... Their problem may be 
as big as "How to convince my girlfriend"(Just for fun) or as small as "whats 
the time now"(this one is for fun too)...

But they need a quick and accurate answer.

Check out the below example...

Try google searching "Why is my laptop so slow"...
The word SOLVED is the best word that makes the user click the title...

The key to gain a click to your headline is the word that should solve the problem 
user is searching for.

Spend time to get the best word for the problem that your blog has solved.

HOW-TO:


As I mentioned before the user who searches Google to solve their problem 
needs a more quick and accurate answer...

Most of the user describes their problem to Google with a word How to in front 
of their query...

According to Google Keyword Planner the word "how to" has the search volume 
of 100k-1M average search over a month...
So a title with How to in the front followed by the best problem-solving description 
will catch the user eyes in the first place...

Let's me show you an example...

Let's try "How to create a blog"... ENTER...


Wow... It is possible to create a blog in 20 Minutes...

Beginners Guide also sounds good...

But still, 20 Minutes describes its own way of clever problem-solving content...

Make use of How-to in a smart way which gives a lifting hand to the theme of your 
content...

Explain to the user the benefit he gains from your blog:


You are reading this blog because you need the information which I have 
mentioned in my title "Inklings (with examples) to build the best headlines for your 
blog"...

In this blog, you gonna obtain the information about how the headline of your blog 
can be improved so that it attracts the user to read your content...

Let's go for an example...

This time give a look at the title of a buffer article...


"I read more than 20 Instagram studies so you don't have to".

The title comforts the user and makes an interest in reading the blog.

Convey the point of your content in a short descriptive title.


Facts Everyone Should Know About:


Users will show more Interest when you say that you know about a thing that they 
don't know.

Sounds funny right, but the truth is when I say 5 hidden facts you should know 
about your nails.

The curiosity inside you will torture you to get to know about the hidden facts that 
your nail has.

And pardon me... The 5 hidden facts were just for an example, I really don't have 
any facts...

Creating a title with the curiosity will gain extra visits to your blog.

Let's look into the real fact example.

"things to know about lie"...

All those titles look promising...

Each of the result titles was well optimized and easily grabs the attention when they 
were alone.

Next title idea will be using a cliffhanger.

Drop a cliffhanger:

The idea here is to create a suspense.

Have you experienced the feeling when your favorite reality show reveals the 
winner of the title?

The thrill they create a few seconds they announce the winner.

Your blog title can also create such an experience.

Like this...


Actually, the baby ducks just sip water from the pool.

But the title made a little amount of suspense till the user came to an idea of what 
happened next...

But don't make the suspense last so long.

As long as you engage soon and provide a solid resolution for your cliffhanger, 
your readers will be happy to share your post.

Touch the Feeling of the User:


It's all about fear... Grab the attention of a user by creating a small fear and 
providing a better solution to overcome the fear to accomplish their goal.

Don't go too negative here.


The above example was taken from PsyBlog, and most of the title form psyblog are 
the best examples.

The above title made a fear to the user that pet animals can triple the mental 
problem and if they had a pet in their home, for sure they definitely read the article.

Hope the above Ideas will help you to create an eye-catching title that gains more 
visitors to your blog.
