What Makes a Headline Successful?

Guest post by Giacomo Rotella

As a blogger or writing business owner, headlines play a crazy important role. Why?

Did you know that out of 10 online users who see your headline, only eight will read it and only two will actually read the article?

The purpose of a headline is to grab the attention of your readers. Hence, it should be unique, specific, and useful.

There are many different types of headlines. I suggest using a headline generator to brainstorm ideas, and then combine different formulas to find the best possible title. 

Here are some examples of effective headlines:

• The "How To" Headline

• The “Reasons Why” Headline

• The “Question” Headline

Read through the infographic below to find out what makes a headline tick and drive traffic to websites.
