How to Title Blog Posts Headlines For Beginners

If you're just starting out with a blog, one of the most important factors in your success is getting people to read it. The only way to accomplish this is to pique their interest.

Even if you have the best blog post in the world, it won't matter if your headline doesn't pique their interest.

In fact, having an average blog post with a great headline is preferable to having a poor headline with an amazing blog post.

You must engage the potential reader, and the only way to do so is to pique their interest right away.

How Do You Create a Catchy Headline?

Some of the best headlines you can write involve numbers and advice.

Example-

5 Ways to Lose Belly Fat and Get 6-Pack Abs

People enjoy reading advice. They know that the majority of the tips they'll read will be brief and to the point, which is exactly what they're looking for.

Writing about a specific number also gives you an idea of how to structure your blog post.

Instead of hitting a brick wall, you'll realize you need at least 5 tips to complete your blog post.

A benefit is another excellent way to create an intriguing headline.

You want them to see the value of losing weight if you're writing about it.

As an example, look great in a swimsuit.

However, one of the most powerful headlines you can use is the benefit+curiosity combination to create a headline that will be read.

Example-

Three Unwritten Rules for Losing Weight and Looking Good in a Bikini.

This is an excellent example of a benefit+curiosity headline.

They'll want to know what the "Unwritten Rules" are, and they'll be more likely to open and read your blog post as a result.

It's also important to have a catchy headline so that people who read RSS feeds can see it.

They will not click on your headline if it is not interesting to them.
