28 Jun 09 Couple of More Crowd-Pulling Headlines

Initially, when I started writing about crowd-pulling headlines, I thought there cannot be more than handful of strategies (formulas) for writing headlines that can build genuine interest in the article. But the more I wrote, the more unconvincing this line of reasoning became, and I ended up writing four posts (including this) on the topic. It goes without saying that I am going to share some more crowd-pulling headlines writing strategies in this post.

Learn… in30 minutes

A headline like this will give the reader a definite time frame in which he or she can acquire the skill or knowledge talked about in the article in question.

Example:

  1. Learn to Disinfect Your PC in 30 Minutes.
  2. Learn Piano in 30-Minute a Day.
  3. Learn HTML in 10 Days.
  4. Learn Photoshop in 30 Days. (Photoshop in 30 Days).
  5. CSS in 10 Easy Steps.

Tried and tested headlines

A “tried and tested” headline infuses credibility in the article. A headline like this suggests that the article following the headline will provide the solution which has been tried by many people and they got benefitted from it. This is a type of testimonial headlines. (Read more on Testimonial Headline)

Example:

  1. Tried and Tested Formula for MLM Success.
  2. Tried and Tested Method to Make Your Abs Flat.

50 best…tips

“50 best…tips, or 10…tips” or any similar headline gives a definitive idea about the length and nature of the article following such headlines. The article following this kind of headline should be written in a list-format. You can also use subheadings (Tip 1, or X tip 1) to write the article.

Example:

  1. 50 Best SEO Tips.
  2. 10 Media Marketing Tips for Success.
  3. 10 CSS Tips.
