Have you ever picked up an article just to peruse it and have your attention caught by a unique and catchy headline?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presently in the society, people are so occupied carrying out series of activities that they find it hard reading contents or write-ups, be it news updates, articles, and some other related write-ups…most of them probably just read the headlines and scroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However there are tactics one can adopt to get these \u201clazy\u201d readers to read contents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step is to ensure you have a very good headline. Here, the headlines don’t necessarily have to be news worthy headlines, rather they should be catchy headlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is because using catchy headlines forces the reader to click your content to further devour what it entails, irrespective of whether he\/she reads to the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth is that, for every 10 people who view your content, only about 2 may click on it especially if the headline isn\u2019t eye-catching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in this article, I will be giving you tips on creating better headlines for your blogs to get the attention of the readers and drive traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Write multiple headlines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For a particular write up or article, get at least five different creative headlines for it, then brainstorm to choose one capable of captivating the sight of the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having these multiple headlines serve as a great means of drawing people to read your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incorporate specific numbers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Headlines are usually more captivating and enticing when specific and simple, and one way to achieve this is by including odd numbers in the headline. It has been said that headlines with odd numbers tend to have more clicks than those with even numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people would find the second headline catchier and love to click on it because it involves numbers, and odd numbers in particular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If one has a headline containing an even letter of 8, it can be deducted to 7, and then the eighth one can be written in the form of a conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use parentheses or bracket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over time, I have come to understand that headlines with parentheses and brackets get more clicks than those without them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most copyrighters who are respected and have quality and good write-ups are those who include parentheses and brackets in their headlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brackets and parentheses are used to separate clauses in the headline. Below are some examples of headlines with parentheses and brackets:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Referencing Additional Bonuses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One way to use parentheses is to mention and include bonuses or give readers a better reason to click on that headline without a doubt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example<\/strong>: 21 Ways to Burn Belly Fat. This kind of headline is enough to make anyone click on the article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mean, who doesn\u2019t want to rock a flat stomach?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generating Curiosity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another use of parentheses, this involves adding a short phrase that will generate curiosity and spike the interest of the readers. Some popular and world-known news feeds used this tactic a lot when they were starting out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example: 21 Ways to Burn Belly Fat (#5 Will Wow You)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boosting Credibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A major way to use parentheses is to add a credibility booster to your headline. This gives readers an enticing, yet assuring reason to view the content contained in that headline, and they\u2019ll be more likely to click through and read your article due to its catchy headline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example: 21 Ways to Burn Belly Fat (That Decreased my Waist to 26 inches)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can think of parentheses as included in a really short sub-headline into your headline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few words like credible statements added in parentheses can strengthen your title by adding promised benefits or giving readers another reason to click that headline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Browse Similar Articles On Google To Identify Competing Headlines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another interesting exercise when writing to achieve a good headline is to search Google or various search engines for other similarly written articles and headlines to see other headlines you are competing against.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking and citing other people\u2019s headlines might give you some good ideas for your own headlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
