Blog headlines are like a grease slide. It’s the best way to get your readers interested in your content!
You may write all the amazing content in the world in your post, but if you do not have an attention-grabbing headline, you’re going to miss out on a whole lot of eyeballs and traffic coming to your blog.
While I was doing some research on how to write killer blog headlines and I stumbled across many websites and swipe files, and I thought I’d consolidate all of them into this single blog post for you to use and refer to before you write you next blog post.
6 Components Of An Awesome Headline
1. Use catchy adjectives
Snazzy / Juicy / Sizzling / Easy / Epic / Best / Damn Good / Fab / Jet-Setter / Fascinating / Unbelievable / Beautiful / Terrible / Controversial / Shocking / Fluffy / Tasty / Seductive / Fantastic / Brilliant / Top / Powerful / Attention-Grabbing / Delicious / Mouthwatering / Gorgeous / Successful / Valuable / Useful / Fantastic / Efficient / Trendy / Beautifully / Baddest / Kick-Ass / Bestest / Irresistible / Clever / Winning Formulas / Seriously / Disturbing / Savvy / Useless / Insane / Outrageous / Mind-blowing / Proven / Recommended / Spiffy / Sleek
2. Use numbers in your blog headlines to attract more traffic
3. Use questions like “How To” or “What Is” – what people would normally search
4. Keep your blog headlines word count less than 70 Characters – Short and sweet.
5. Never misguide your readers. Keep it focused on the topic.
6. Get creative and come up with whacky ideas.
Here’s the list of 181 blog headlines that work:
