Discussing the Internet, blogging, and business.

You might wonder why post titles are so important. If a reader sees the title of your post, he determines whether he is going to read this post or not; therefore, it is important to draw people’s attention by creating a catchy title. I would like to give you a few tips on how to make the title of your next post work:

• Create a title that tells your readers that they are going to benefit from reading your post. This is the number one rule to writing post titles that work. If you start your posts with ‘How to’, you communicate to your readers that they are going to learn new things after reading your blog entry.
• Try asking a question in a post title. If you ask a question, you stimulate your readers to read the answer, which is in your post. Asking questions in a title is probably the best way to get your readers to leave comments.
• Do not hesitate to use keywords in your blog post titles. That way you tell your readers, as well as search engines, what your next post is going to be about. If you use keywords well, new readers are guaranteed to come and read your post.
• Try using so-called power words. Some words can evoke a very powerful response in readers. You will find that words such as ‘secrets to’, ‘free’, or ‘discover’ will make an impression on your readers.
• Use humor. Funny titles can work great if your readers share the same sense of humor as you do.
