Killer Headlines For Writing Blog Posts
http://www.drostdesigns.com/reports/blogpostguide/

Unless you write killer headlines for your blog posts your chances of your visitors reading the rest of your content drastically declines. Most blog post titles fail to attract readers because they don't grab the reader's attention. 

Here are 8 elements for creating killer blog post headlines:

1. Short and catchy is best

Keep title lengths to 70 characters or less so it makes it easy for your readers to scan your content. 

Example
"Lose 10lbs in one week or less"

2. Include one large benefit

Visitors want to know immediately the benefit they'll receive by reading your post so try to weave it into the title. 

Example
"How to Create An Epic Blog Post That Gets Shared Naturally"

3. Include an emotional component

Most professional copywriters headlines include emotional  marketing value. 

Example
Instead of saying "Free Web Hosting Guide" change it to  "Free Web Hosting Guide: 33 Secrets You Probably Didn't Know!" 

4. Include your main keyword near the beginning

Search engines tend to rank and index posts that contain the keywords at the beginning

Example
 "Aweber Review -- 33 Points To Consider Before Choosing An Email List Provider"

5. Solve a specific problem

Think about the frequently asked questions your customers have then include them in your article. This will help retain your viewership.

Example
 "How to Win Friends and Influence People" is one of the most effective headlines that you could use when creating your own headline.

6. Deliver what you promised in your headline

The content of your post must support what you promised in your title. Don't make the mistake of using "bait and switch" tactics where you promise one thing and then deliver something else. 

7. Create a natural flow

Make sure your first paragraph supports your title then succeeding titles and paragraphs should build upon each other.

8. Use correct grammar, capitalization, and spelling

Make sure you proof read your post before publishing it or get someone else to review it.
