Make titles that people can’t ignore.

Stop the scroll. Win the click. That’s the game. You have only a few words. You need them to shine now. Let’s make it easy and fun.

The short answer: A good title is clear, quick, and gives a strong reason to click. It tells what the post is about and why it matters, in the simplest words.

Why your title matters right now

People skim. They blink and move on. Your title is the tiny door to your whole world. If the door is dull, no one walks in. If it pops, they tap.

The 3-second test

• Read the title out loud once.
• If a 9-year-old gets it, you pass.
• If not, cut extra words. Try again.

The simple title formula

Topic + Benefit + Spark + Truth

• Topic: What it is.
• Benefit: Why we care.
• Spark: A fun word or number.
• Truth: No tricks. Keep it real.

Example: “Easy Lunch Ideas: 5 Fast Meals Kids Love”

Words that wake the brain

Try: easy, fast, free, new, smart, quick, simple, proven, best, guide, tips, steps, today. Use one or two. Don’t stuff.

Keep it short, not shy

• Aim for 6–10 words.
• Put the key word first.
• Numbers help: “7 Tips…”, “3 Steps…”
• Brackets help: “[Guide]”, “[Checklist]”

SEO without the yawn

• Use your main keyword once.
• Write for people first.
• No fluff. No filler words.

Good: “Mexican Oregano: Simple Uses and Bold Flavor”
Not good: “All About the Most Amazing Mexican Oregano Ever in 2025!!!”

Make it pass the “so what?” check

Ask: “So what?” If your title answers with a clear win (save time, save money, less stress, more fun), it’s strong.
