3 Ways to Create a Click-Worthy Headline

NEW YORK, July 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Having a well thought-out content development strategy is a small-business marketer's dream, and it's crucial to continuously create unique content that is relevant to your market niche. The content should be focused on information that is beneficial to your audience, and beginning with a headline that connects emotionally to the reader is a perfect place to start.

The following headline-writing techniques can help breathe life into your existing strategy:

• Write the headline at the end.  Consider writing the headline after you have finished the piece since you'll have a clearer understanding of what you are trying to convey.
• Length of headline. Where you plan on publishing the article should factor in when determining the length of the title. Remember character limits with social media – especially advertising -- and aim to have the most important words within the first 55 characters of the title.
• Search. Perform a Google search on your topic to not only gain inspiration from other writers but also determine how your piece should be different to rise above the clutter.
