It's very easy when writing a post or an article to concentrate on the content and neglect your headline. And yet it is your headline that will encourage readers to carry on reading.

There are many different ways you can write headlines - the infographic below has just a few suggestions.

Make sure that you always write a selection of headlines - not just one. Get it right and you will gain more readers. Get it consistently wrong you run the risk of never building the type of traffic to make your site a success.

This graphic said it all to me! I even saved it so I could pull it up often and check my headlines against it as a model. Thanks, Beverley.

Thanks Rebecca. You said in your recent blog it was important to be you. Well although I love writing - I also love creating visuals and I'd forgotten that for a bit. Back to being me!

Brilliant! ;)

I'm one of the 8 of 10 who only read headlines. If it doesn't capture me, I gladly move on. There is too much information on the web to be "forced" into reading something that doesn't speak to me immediately.

Headlines and Images are the two things I struggle with the most when writing, I know you've shared some tips with me, but I'll be printing out this gorgeous graphic and hanging it by my computer. I need to remember the "Popular Headline Types".

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

Patty :)

Thanks Patty.

I'm like you - I move on if the headline doesn't grab me and yet to forget that when you're writing your own content.

Another Nice work Beverly. Many times I see headlines and they really have nothing to do with the article. Just an eye catcher. Some do it on purpose to get people to click. They'll make up a story then say "gotcha" btw..... I don't know weather to laugh or smack the author sometimes.

Thanks Darlene. You have just highlighted one of my particular pet hates. I loathe it when the headline doesn't match the article - It just deceives the reader. You're right I know some people deliberately - lets say I want to choose the second option!
