15 Enticing Headlines Examples to Get More Clicks


Creating catchy headlines is a must for your blogs, email subject lines, and other resources. After all, it's the headline that draws readers in and makes them want to learn more. Continue reading this blog for some quick tips on writing enticing headlines and 15 examples that you can customize.

Keep Your Headlines Clear and Concise


Make sure the headline is clear and concise. People don't want to read long, convoluted sentences, so keep it short, sweet, and to the point. The optimal email subject line length is no more than 7 words or 45 characters long. The optimal length for a blog title on the other hand is between 8 to 12 words or 60 characters. Depending on what your headline is being used for, a quick Google search can help you determine the optimal length.

Make Sure to Use Active Language


An active headline reads better and is more likely to grab the reader's attention. The key is to use power words to make a simple title more enticing. For example, a title such as ‘Sections to Include in Your Email Newsletter’ can be changed to ‘5 Must-Have Sections for Crafting the Perfect Email Newsletter’.

Here’s a quick list of 10 power words you can use:
  • Free
  • Amazing
  • Ultimate
  • Powerful
  • Easy
  • Surprising
  • Compelling
  • Impactful
  • Best
  • Cheap
