Remember when you first signed up for this blogging adventure after reading your favorite bloggers' "How To Start a Blog" page. Many recommend titles that are How To or x Ways to Do This or That. In short, people search the internet for solutions. That's a nugget I recently realized after blogging. That's why they use Pinterest top... didn't know that either. Pinterest is apparently a visual search engine. What!
So to help kick off this challenge, here are some templates for catchy blog titles. I would encourage you to step outside the regular How To X or X Ways... that's amateur ish. I am challenging myself to push the envelope a little and hit 10 outrageous titles this summer (Jun to mid-Aug 2018). I find just reading some of the templates act as sentence starters for future posts. So not only is it a great way to add some flash it can help generate ideas. Read on!

So many different post titles there yet after a while they do get a bit 'samey' don't they? Problem is, Pinterest is a great driver of blog traffic and listicles/how to's do very well on Pinterest. I shall nick some of those titles for future posts myself!
ReplyDeleteFrom the looks of your Pinterest shares, you seem to be doing quite well! Keep it up!
DeleteThanks! Am trying hard, I find how to's & listicles don't just roll off my finger tips if you see what I mean. Easier to rant about DD2! Ha!
DeleteI would never have known! :)
DeleteRanting does tend to flow better for most things... so many neuronal connections to everything in the world that has ever annoyed us!
