If you want your blog posts or copy to perform well, you have to create a magnetic headline. Just look at some top #steemians headlines.
Indeed, a catchy headline is your entry into your reader and potential customer’s world–and that’s a very busy space they occupy.
No matter your content type, and no matter if you’re writing a list post or an in-depth article, a powerful and attractive headline is waiting to be had.

This is fundamental, because, according to Copyblogger, 80% of your visitors will read your headline – but only 20% will go on to finish the article.

In other words, a great headline isn’t just something you wish you could create. It’s crucial. Game changing, you could say.

And bad headlines can cause your content marketing to fail.
For example, one recent study, conducted by Content Marketing Institute, found that including a hyphen or colon in the headline increased the click-through rate by 9%.image623-768x435.png

Headlines fail when they don’t match the article written or aren’t relevant to a specific theme. (Also, when the length exceeds 62 characters, search engines tend to ignore the remainder of the headline. This could decrease the conversion rate in the long run and decrease the search engine appeal you’re after.)

While a headline analyzer can be a nifty and fantastic tool, these top headline writing tips will allow you to start assessing your headlines critically so that you can take them from passable to absolutely potent.
