A Word of Caution – Headlines Can Harm You!

Be cautious though. Don’t use headline formulas all the time.

Many people are already tired of them!

Make sure to write for your faithful audience as well.

You don’t need click bait “THIS will Smash Your Headlines!” for regulars.

Regular readers do not like to get tricked into viewing your content!

Yet do not give away all the article insights in the headline already.

Consider this unfortunate example – it actually got published all over the place!

“Poet Maya Angelou Dies at 86”

I never clicked through to that article even though I use the example for years!

So these headlines may harm you for different reasons. Beware!
