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.
