Some blog posts work, some don’t. Why?
Of course, as a blogger, something I do practically every day is read new headlines. The title is the first thing your reader will see, so make it cool. If you can’t judge a book by its cover, then can you judge a blog post by its title? No.
One of the most important things to any blog post is its title. It’s the first impression your writing will make on anybody on Twitter, Facebook, or any news site where your link might be shared. If you don’t impress , people won’t click, and they won’t get to read your amazing content.
Tip 1: Spend time on your title.
I'm new to this field and just started before a month. Many new bloggers do not spend much time on the perfect title as they believe that the quality of their content is enough. I think that's Big mistake. Your blog title is your first impression. If readers don't find your title catchy, they won't bother clicking on it. There goes your research.
Tip 2: Keep your titles short
The ideal length of a blog title is between 6-8 words. A long blog title is not only boring but it also dilutes the reader's attention. Plus long titles get truncated by search engines.
Some Best example of Andrew Chen
- If you hate your job, quit it. Today.
- The iPhone 5 is the best phone ever made
- Don’t start a startup, you’ll end up a pauper.
The other important pattern is when you can use start blog posts with titles. It will be little Cheesy for viewer like:
- How to do X…
- Why I think X…
- When does X happen…
- 10 ways that X…
What not to do
People write blog posts that are descriptive. Something like “Google and their mobile products” or “Our product features” just sounds weak, compared to “Google makes amazing mobile products” and “5 amazing features in our new product.”
