“Headline writing is an art form.”

– Jennifer Lee

How much time do you spend on creating the best titles? Or subtitles on those longer articles?

Creating catchy titles for your articles will require some effort, but the goal is to keep them simple to understand.

Learning that a subheading can indeed be a better title at times can help drastically.

Even taking a step away from the computer can be the best help. Trying too hard to force a title can halt your creativity.

In part, another helpful tool is a free headline analyzer.

Have you used this tool?
