I wanted to share a real creative and catchy headline as an example of how youw ant to write these in order to catch more attention and bring in more readers.
Remember: Each time you post a blog, your blog post headline will show up on the main blog page (over 20,000 views per day) and on the Your Opinion main page. That means that you get just a few seconds to peek someone's interest, then feed their curiosity just enough to get them to click on the headline and read your blog.
The secret: short and to the point, catchy, and tempting headlines.
Check this one out:
Does a Piglet Live in Your State Capitol?
SPN Blog did two things right. First, they used a question. People like giving their opinion, and answer poll-type questions. So, if you can phrase your headline as a question, this can be helpful. Second, the headline is short and memorable because of the use of the word "piglet."
By the way, this is a piece on porkbusting. Make sure to check it out.
