5 Ways You Can Become Your Own Blog Headline Generator

So you have hopped on board the blogging bandwagon – wheeee!! But all of a sudden it’s time to choose a blog title and you come to a screeching halt. Rrhhh…shh…

If scouring the web to find a title for your great blog article is putting a hitch in your giddy-up, why not become your very own blog headline generator? You might find that you already have most of the skills floating around in your head – it’s just a matter of putting them together.

Here are 5 ways you can become the headline generator you have always wanted to be:
1. Understand keywords
Keywords need to be included in your blog title and through out your blog article. When implementing keywords, don’t go overboard and try to see how many you can fit in your title! Stick to one central theme (one keyword) that you know your audience will want to read about.
2. Read other blogs and pay attention to titles
Learning from others can be one of the best sources of inspiration. You don’t have to re-invent the wheel when writing a blog title. Maybe just put a new hubcap on it. Here is are some good blog sources I have pursued my marketing headline generator inspiration from:

3. Follow your audience

Be aware of what’s treading across your social media accounts. In order to increase the relevancy factor, it’s important to know what your audience is talking about. Get ahead of the game by learning what your audience is talking about and then make a catchy title.For example, if you notice your audience updating their status with Miley Cyrus’s Wrecking Ball song references, you can turn incorporate it into your blog article about mass emails by titling it, How To Not Have Mass Emails Come In Like A Wrecking Ball.

4. Always have writing tools next to you

You never know when inspiration is going to hit. Writing forms your thoughts and you might find yourself thinking about your blog post in some strange places like in the shower, car or even the movie theater. Make sure to write down your headline generator ideas, but remember to do so safely and without disturbing others.

5. Don’t set limitations

All of the 4 steps listed above are very important, but if the “no that’s stupid” mentality creeps in it will negate all of your hard work. Don’t limit yourself! Make sure your title is unique and stays true to the tone of your blog. Instead of saying no to yourself, why not try saying yes and… instead. Using positive language to let your creativity flourish.

And there you have it! You’re now your very own blog headline generator. What is the best blog article title you have come up with and what inspired you? Let us know by commenting below!
