One of the challenges — whether online or offline — is attracting the interest of readers. A sometimes under-appreciated aspect of communications is the headline.
With that in mind, consider these observations by Ginny Soskey of HubSpot: “Crafting headlines is the hardest part of the entire writing process. You’ve got to be descriptive, yet concise. Attention-grabbing, yet factual. Search-engine friendly, yet catchy. Oh, and alliteration works well. And you’ve probably overused the word ‘awesome’ or ‘amazing’ — so find something better than that. To top it all off, it should also fit in under 140 characters so it’s easy to tweet.”
