How to Write the Right Headline at Randa Clay Design

How to Write the Right Headline

Published March 17th, 2007 in Blogging.

Brian at Copyblogger has some excellent posts about post headlines which have really impacted the way I think about them. He’s an expert at writing titles- when I visit his blog, and look at the popular articles section in the sidebar, I want to read all of them! He is currently in the midst of suggesting changes to reader-submitted headlines. The first collection is here: Headline Remix Madness – Part One | Copyblogger
He also has a series of posts entitled How to Write Magnetic Headlines that is a must-read.

Hi Randa,

Many thanks for your comment over on my blog about my re-design. Much appreciated!

Certainly, Brian has some great advice. One of my own blog article headlines was the first he reviewed in part one of his latest offering. He taught me how to better a specific headline and I fully agreed with his reasoning.

I hope all’s well with you.

David
