18 unbelievable ways you can bathe an elephant indoors

First of all, you need to measure the height and the weight of the elephant, then.. Did you really think that I am going to/I am able to advise you how to bathe an elephant indoors? :P Of course I am not. Actually I wanted to give you an insight into my daily life, but I couldn´t think of a catching headline. So I informed myself how to capture the readers’ attention and instead of writing about my daily tasks I want to share my new gained knowledge with you. Besides using interesting adjectives, researches have shown that numbers, for which reason ever, attract the readers and make a headline more impressive. Question words like how, when, or why and trigger words like way, fact, reason,.. grab the readers’ attention as well. Another good way to enhance your headline is to convince your audience with a promise to read through the whole article, text,... You could tell them that you will teach them how to do a specific thing for instance. All in all the following formula is recommended on several websites to create a thrilling headline: Number or Trigger word + Adjective + Keyword + Promise.  And, as you see, it did work out, because if you are reading this, you were definitely captured by my headline. I hope it was worth the effort ;) Bye for now.
