Creating a powerful headline is important — maybe even more important than you think. According to recent research, 80 percent of people will read a headline on a website, but only 20 percent of these people will actually read the article. The quality of the headline can make a big difference between the articles that are read versus the ones that aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Be Afraid to Get Creative: <\/strong>A boring headline — even if factually accurate — isn\u2019t going to drive people to your content. Any fears about using clever or \u201ccute\u201d headlines to draw in readers have been proven to be outdated with the rise of viral sites that get huge click-through and page view numbers with creative and witty headlines.<\/p>\n

Consider Your Target Audience: <\/strong>It\u2019s important to think about who you want to read your stories and what you want them to do when crafting a headline. If you are looking at closing sales, you need a headline that calls the reader to action. If you are simply looking to increase page views, you need to focus on grabbing their attention with the promise of something unique in the story text.<\/p>\n

The Medium Matters as Well: <\/strong>You need to consider who your readers will engage with the headline when creating it. Sites such as Facebook allow you to use an image and, possibly, some additional \u201cteaser\u201d text as a sub-headline to attract a potential reader\u2019s attention. Make sure you take advantage of these opportunities when you can.<\/p>\n

Remember That People Are Curious By Nature: <\/strong>There are several types of headlines that have become popular in recent years:<\/p>\n
