The Relevance of the Title and Content of the Article as a Reader Magnet on Steemit

Everyone has a unique character so that there are fundamental differences between one individual and another, this is natural and human characteristics are reflected in all aspects of the life they live. Related to the topic of my post today which was inspired by @steemcurator02 mention yesterday about the effective use of titles from one of the users in Steem For BetterLife Community.

Setting Article Title

To encourage enthusiasts to enter into the content of the article and read it, the article title is one of the important factors that the author needs to pay attention to, writing interesting titles not only on this platform, but in general for every writer the basics are needed in setting an article title so that it becomes a magnet for readers.

Take a look at the main page/cover of a magazine or newspaper both in print and online, the title becomes an important point that is highlighted, editors and writers design the title as attractive as possible so that it attracts readers to buy it/visit the page and then read it.

In principle, writing the right title is the key to the promotion of published articles, not a few articles that are written have no relevance to the title. Well, in this context I want to invite steemians, especially active users in Steem For BetterLife Community, to see this aspect as the most important part that must be considered and observed properly.

Generally, users have difficulty in setting the title of the article, they are too serious about looking for something interesting or looking for sensation from the title so that they ignore the essence of the content of the article itself.

The right steps can be taken:

1. Using sentences that arouse curiosity when the reader sees it
2. Write several title options that are considered ideal briefly and describe the contents of the article
3. Set one of the titles based on the analysis so that it attracts the reader's interest.

As the gateway to an article, the title needs to be considered as an attraction, likened to a girl, she tries to look attractive by maintaining her appearance, applying makeup, and wearing clothes that she thinks are most appropriate to wear, then being able to show positive ethics. Girls like this tend to be much ogled by men. ^{Personal opinion based on current facts in the area where I live.}

The most important point in determining the title is insight, the higher the insight of an author, the more interesting the title of the article he publishes. I am not a writer and do not have the broad knowledge to release various informative and educational articles, but I try to learn better from the past by increasing my knowledge and insight by reading.

Relation to Steemit

Today users are competing to increase the quantity of their articles for curation so that they ignore the essence of the content of the article itself. The club100, club75 and club100 campaign, #burnsteem25 campaign also attracts writers' interest to continue to support each campaign referred to in almost every published article.

Is this the wrong activity?. I as the admin of Steem For BetterLife Community and Country Representative Indonesia continue to campaign for these two until now so I think this is the right step, especially since it is directly proportional to the program run by the Steemit Team.

Where lies the problem?. Lately, supporting the campaign seems excessive, perhaps to encourage the Curation Team to give a positive vote on the article, but this has actually become a problem for writers who do excessive activities.

For example: Adding the Label ***Club, #burnsteem25, which is believed to allow getting a positive vote*** in front and at the end of the article title.

#club75 - Thediary Game, October 13, 2022 : Happy Family Day	️❌
#burnsteem25 - Thediary Game, 13 October 2022 : Happy Family Day	️❌
Thediary Game, October 13, 2022 : Happy Family Day	️✅
25% to @null - Thediary Game, 13 October 2022 : Happy Family Day	️❌

You do not need to use this label or other labels in the title of the article you publish, this has been emphasized by the Steemit Team repeatedly. the following is a screenshot of the form of activity that does not need to be done.

Hopefully this will be a reference for writers on how to use the right title without ignoring the essence of what should be written.
