Enroll in CourseDo you ever wonder why you click some headlines?
And why you ignore most headlines?
In the old days of print advertising, David Ogilvy suggested that if 100 people read a headline only 20 will actually read your advert or article.
And now?
According to WordPress, 70 million (that’s 70,000,000!!!) new blog posts are published every month.
As bloggers, we’re in a tough competition for reader attention. If 100 people see your headline on social media, you’re lucky if two click through.
People often decide to read or ignore your blog post by reading only the headline:
- In social media streams, good headlines grab attention and make people curious to learn more.
- In Google search results, good headlines suggest you offer the information people are looking for and that’s why they click a link to your website.
- As email subject lines, good headlines prompt subscribers to open your enewsletters, increasing the number of readers for your blog.
- At the top of your blog posts, good headlines encourage people to start reading your posts.
So, good headlines are an essential tool in growing your blog readership.
