Do you want to learn how to create titles for your blog posts that attract attention? Read on to discover how a few simple tips can make a major difference to the titles of your posts and how you can make them more interesting...

Promises: There are plenty of methods you can use to make people read your post and garner their attention. However, a certain highly effective method is to make promises and claims that you can keep.

If you do things properly, titles like these can really take your articles to a completely new level. Let's face it, people are always interested in getting something more than they bargained for, or something that is highly enticing and promises them a certain result. You will spark people's curiosity to read the whole article by making a powerful claim in your title and they will want to learn more about it. You have to pay special care that your content complies with the headline you've written and it's good enough to make an excellent impression on your target audience. If your readers feel that the content doesn't deliver on the promise of the title, the result will be the opposite of what you wanted and you'll end up losing a reader.

Use Keywords: We all know that blogs generate a majority of their traffic from the search engines, which is why you should work towards including your main keywords into your title. This technique is good both for attracting your potential audience as well as generating more targeted traffic from the search engines. The first thing someone will do, when they see your post in the search engine results, is to check if the keyword they were searching for appears in the title. Search engines ten to bold the keyword when it's in the title which makes it easier to spot. Remember, though, that when you're adding your keyword to the title, it has to make sense. You shouldn't just stuff keywords into the headline because you will end up with something no one is going to read. Your title should be created around the keyword and not vice versa.

Utilize Strong Terms: If you've read even the slightest bit about copywriting, you probably know the importance of using strong terms. There are certain words that instantly make the reader excited and enthusiastic, which is why you should focus on using them in your blog post title. However, not all terms are equal - "Free", for example, is a lot stronger than "Cheap". For the best results, you have to learn more about your audience and the types of words that are effective with them and then use them in your headlines. A proven way of getting results, especially if you want to improve your titles, is to concentrate on writing excellent articles that your audience finds compelling.
