Does Your Headline Kick Ass?

Writing by Nick Stamoulis Tweet

Headlines are one of the most important pieces of online content. Whether you are talking about web page headlines or blog headlines, you want your headline to stand out, grab people’s attention, and be optimized for your keywords. Can you write a headline that does all three?

I think you can.

Remember to put your keyword as close to the front of the headline as possible, but that’s not all there is to it. You also want your headline to be memorable. You want it to reach into your readers’ guts and yank out an intestine. OK, that’s gross, but it should have that effect. If it doesn’t touch your reader then chances are you won’t have any readers.

Writing a headline that kicks ass is the first step to writing a good blog post or web page headline. Get their attention first then bop on the head with doggone ass-kicking content.
