So u read the title and you were suckered into clicking to read it. This was just a test, to see if a catchy title works as well as an ordinary not so catchy title. But this little experiment requires you typing in three letters to show results....the letters are

"YES"

so...if u clicked on the title because you thought you were about to read a great blog, let me know in the comments with a YES.

Use this as an example of how to create intrigue, to get people to click on a title to read something, a real world example, if you like.

If nobody reads this, I will be surprised. If a lot of people read it and type in YES, it means that my dastardly little plan worked and that captivating headlines do work and this was not a complete waste of time.

Type Yes, if this caught your attention enough to make you click. And remember what it was that made you click, I think we can all use this kind of approach (but not be scammy - but offering something of value)

The value you take away from THIS blog post is that it made you click. Now you know what will make OTHER PEOPLE click on your headlines.

You see, we're all very unique and make different choices but there are in fact many people just like you out there on the internet - curious human beings that want an answer to a question.

If you found yourself reading this, it means that my little experiment worked, but....

WHY did it work, what is it about the title that drew you in to read more? Get me?

Is it the words used? Is it the question asked?

It's an experiment. That everyone can learn from, not just me!

Jimbo!
