Headline Tips For How To Articles
EzineArticles Expert Author Joan Stewart (AKA the Publicity Hound) wrote this excellent article about 2 years ago, and yet it’s still brilliant today: How to Write Headlines for How-to Articles
The only strategy that I’d add to her excellent headline list is to make sure you expand the length of your article title. This provides more hooks to capture more attention from potential readers and makes it easier for readers to know what your article will be about should they only see your article headline by itself (in an RSS reader for example).
Thanks for the post.
One other element that I just learned can help an article get read is to put something controversial in the Headline. Just look at the front page of any newspaper. It’s going to be packed with controversial subjects that will push many people’s buttons.
