Today's topic is more a writing tip than a blogging tip. But then again, what is the most important part of your blogpost? Exactly! The title! Because no matter how good your article is, without a strong, powerful title almost no one feel the urge to click it and read it.

If you ever looked into titles almost begging to be clicked, then you'll probably have noticed that they use certain words. Words that appeal to the imagination of the reader, that trigger emotions and answers to our desire for sensation.

Below a random list of powerful words and their synonyms and alternatives that will surely trigger your readers:

If you want readers effectively clicking your blog post, then these words are a good starting point for writing powerful titles. The list is obviously not exhaustive. You can complement it with your own ideas if you want.

P.S.: I almost forgot the classic, but somewhat cheap tip using suggestive, sexual words for spicy headlines to get your article clicked considerably more often. Do not exaggerate here. Users click on it easily, but the effect also wears down quickly if used too often.
