Now before we go further I have to state that writing a Magnetic headline but writing a post that fails to deliver the promise made by the headline can be classified as Click bait and if you keep up with it, people will see you as a clown and stop clicking on your post and eventaully unfollow you, nobody loves clickbait

It has been proven that on an average only 8 out of 10 people will read your headline, but only 2 out of 10 will read the post, that is why writing a great headline matters. The purpose of the headline is to get people to read your post and if people stop paying attention to you at the headline then you're already dead in the water

It is important that your first write your headline before you start writing the post itself, you will need to have a basic knowledge of what you are talking about so that you will not struggle with this, having a basic idea of what you are writing about will make it easier for you to write out a good headline

You are making a promise to your readers with your headline and writing it out first will make you know what you are up to and also make it easier for you to fulfill your promise

I have found out that whenever I write a post without first writing out the headline, I tend to digress since I have no focal point and even if the post comes out well, I still struggle with choosing a headline because I will feel that any headline I come up with does not fully make my promise known

With that out of the way, let me fulfill the promise that made you click this post in the first place. The following are ways to create Magnetic headlines that gets your post read

Make Your Benefits Clear

Whenever a person is scouring the web for posts to read, the person is looking for Information that will obviously favor him/her. Your headlines should expressly show the person the benefits of reading your post

The "How To" headline is extremely popular and its popularity stems from the innate Human desire for Tips and Tricks. Most people are too lazy to read information online that will take up much of their time and a place like Steemit that has a small attention span, you need to up your game to get attention

People put up aggresive filters when scouring the web and when they feel that a post will totally waste their time, they tend to skip it, I personally have passed hundreds of useful posts here on Steemit that turned out to be valuable to me and it took some one or the trending page to make me read it

You will get more through the filters people put up if your post headline fully spells out the benefits that your post have to offer

Over the years we have come to see the "How To" headline as a bearer of Important and valuable information

The More Benefits the Better

Providing a solid benefit with your headline is great, providing two is epic, the title of Dale Carnegie revolutionary book is arguably the most famous " How To" title ever

How To Win Friends and Influence People

This is one of the most irresistible headlines of all times,it told the reader that the contents of the book has the power to change their life, everyone loves to win friends especially in business and the second benefit provided by the book which is learning how to influence people sealed the deal

The book might have been epic, bit the headline on its own was brilliant, it also had a subtle way of convincing the reader that if they can learn the first benefit i.e Winning friends then the second benefit will be within their reach

This method will always work if you link the two methods well and also deliver great content along with it, linking two unrelated benefits just for the sake of it will not get you anywhere

There are a lot of things that will get you noticed on Steemit and one of them is writing Magnetic headlines, but you have to make sure that you always deliver whenever you make a promise

Were there times you were glad clicked a boring headline, or have you ever missed a vital information because of a boring headline, bare your thoughts in the comments below
