You want to suck your reader in with your headline like a vacuum cleaner with extreme suction power!

Write your headline as a question that provides the rewards to reap by reading that headline.

What does a reader want to see in your headline precisely?

  • Promise → Want
  • Surprise → How?
  • Controversial → How come? is it true?
  • Something for their self-interest → Trigger Interest
  • Fear will trigger most as well → Scare people is the strongest emotional trigger
  • Present the reader with a future image, a perspective → Dream trigger

“Your aim should be to trigger emotions and provide value.”

Your headline must explain in depth what your readers will gain from your article​​​, so they don’t waste their time.

Reading consumes a lot of time​; most people pick what they’ll read carefully. Present them accurate information in the title​​ ​so they already decide early!
