Recently, on our blog, we gave you 7 reasons your business needs a blog and we explained why it is so important to helping you draw in new customers. We understand that sometimes coming up with some ideas for blog posts can be hard, especially if you are just starting out. So today, we wanted to share with you 70+ attention-grabbing blog post headline ideas for your business, to help you hit the ground running.
Now, before you write a great headline, you need to know a few tips to come up with a great, attention-grabbing title.
- Use Numbers: Numbers draw people’s attention. It’s a great way to tell your readers “how much” info they will be receiving. Make sure you are using numbers in “digits” not words (i.e: use “7” instead of “Seven”). Also, studies show that odd numbers tend to work best. So, instead of coming up with something like: “Top 10 beauty hacks for 2017” change this to something like “Top 13 Beauty Hacks for 2017”. Since most people are using Numbers like: Top 5, 10, 20, 100 – you will actually benefit from using a different (odd) number (and you may do better in Google rankings, because it is different)
- Use catchy Adjectives: You will grab people’s attention better if you have a catchy and strong adjective. Use your creativity and stand apart from the rest! Some catchy Adjectives you can add to your title include: Easy, Crazy, Awesome, Epic, Best Fascinating, Unbelievable, Beautiful, Terrible, Controversial, Shocking, Tasty, Brilliant, Top, Powerful, Attention-Grabbing, Delicious, Mouthwatering, Gorgeous, Successful, Valuable, Useful, Efficient, Trendy, Outrageous, Mind-blowing, Proven, Recommended.
- Keep it short and focused: Make your title short, sweet, concise and very descriptive. Don’t forget to use keywords for SEO purposes! Try not to use more than 70 characters in your title (Google will cut it off).
- Use popular search queries: Your readers want something useful and relevant. Most readers are looking for answers when they are searching through Google. Therefore it’s a great idea to include “How to” or “What is” in your titles, when it relates to your blog post. Search engines love these posts (especially if you follow the odd number tip above).
- Stay away from misleading readers: Your blog post title and the content should have the same message. Sometimes, companies/bloggers will use “click bait” titles to lure new readers to click on their post only to find that the title misled them. This will turn people away and can hurt your brand. If you create a catchy title, make sure the content of the blog matches that title.
Your blog headline is a call-to-action, so make sure it captures people’s attention. The headline determines how your content will be shared and spread more than the content of the post itself.
Hopefully, these 70+ blog post headline ideas will help you come up with amazing blog content for your site.
