Blog Headlines that You Should Never Use

Blog Headline Mistake #1: Using a Topic

If you use a topic for the titles of your blog posts, that won’t grab anyone’s attention. For example, a topic is Losing Weight.

Instead, you can change it something more compelling like:

Blog title Mistake #2 – Challenges

If you are in a 90-day blog challenge, are you writing Blog titles like this:

  • Day 32 – Getting Better Each Day
  • 90-Day Blog: Day 42
  • Day 45 of the 90-Day Blogging Challenge

If yes, this is a huge mistake. These type of blog titles do nothing for your SEO (search engine optimization). If your blog post did show up in search results, would it compel someone to click on it?

These type of blogging headlines do not convey any value to a reader or tell the reader what the post if about.

If you are in a blog challenge, write posts that provide real value to your target market and a title that

compels a person to click on it.

Blog Post Headline Mistake #3 – Weak Blog Titles

Without a compelling headline, people won’t be inspired to read your post. Take the time to write titles for your blog posts that have maximum impact.
