How to title a blog post ? You might have already read bunch of posts stating about effective post-titles. I have also read many but I lacked one special thing in all such posts, they lack demo i.e an express example which follows what the post says about how to give the best title to your post.

Title tells about your writing
In this post, I’ll discuss the tecnique along with suitable single example. Suppose I am writing about how to install wordpress. Lets create a title for such content!
Attractive
– How to make title attractive ? let us ask ourselves what are we attracted to ? – Things of our interest! Right! For a title to be attractive, it must contain words of users/readers interest. Until and unless title represents topic of visitors interest, visitors won’t be tempted to read it. To be of visitors’ interest, you should ask yourself whether the title describes the topic visitor is looking for or visitor want to get information about.

Inviting
– Being attractive is one thing and being inviting is another. Inviting is judicious ornamental use of words, phrases, synonyms that are likely to attract such readers who are authors by heart.

[other notes] –
- First few words of title should contain keywords of our content.
- Avoid very long titles.
- Use custom slug for your posts – Don’t use all the words of title as your post url.
- Sometimes a simple title also works but in such case you should be the first one to write on such content.
