Why a Strong Title
- Get the reader’s attention.
- A strong title will make their brains tell them to read more into it.
- Strong titles will create a bigger audience.
Consider the following ideas
Get Spunky If your title has a fun ring to it, chances are your audience will be captured by it.
Be Intriguing Titles out of the ordinary that have a certain ring to them will capture the audiences attention. This will usually make the reader want to know more about the topic.
Be Authoritative Authors who are experts in the field they are writing about should pay close attention to this. Use strong words that show you are the boss.
Offer a Benefit Make the audience believe they will walk away gaining knowledge and able to use that knowledge.
Take the Right Approach Know your audience. Use your title that will capture that certain age, culture, social or economical class's eye.
Use Subtitles This works great when you do not have enough room to say in the main title.
Lastly, Be Patient Brainstorm, ask for help and test your title with the public. It may sound like a good title to you, but may not be selling to others.
