After you've written a few dozen articles, it can get a little challenging to come up with fresh ideas for article topics. You can get stuck in a rut sometimes, writing the same types of titles and the same types of articles month after month. Did you know that a new "flavor" of title can boost your creativity and give your online article submissions new life? Sometimes it is helpful to have some guidelines to follow to get you started. That is why templates can be so helpful. If you're running short of ideas and would like some direction in writing your next article, why not try this article title template? I call this one the "question + command" title. Here are some examples: "Need To Sell Your House Fast? Stage Your House Like A Pro!" "Is Your Messy Desk Driving You Crazy? Organize Your Clutter!" Or even the headline for this article--you get the idea! While we're at it, here are a few more effective title templates: 1 - Create a title that solves a reader's problem. These titles often take the form of "How To" headlines. It's usually: How To do a certain task Example: "How To Write Articles Faster" 2 - The headline that asks a question. These types of titles work to engage the reader--if you ask a question that they have been wondering in their head (or typing into Google), that title will immediately speak to your reader. Example: "What Is A Link?" 3 - Get personal--use the pronoun "you" in the title. This is another way to reach out to your reader and catch his or her attention in a subtle way. Example: "5 Cheap And Easy Ways You Can Decorate Your Home For The Holidays!" 4 - A little variation of the "question + command" title is to drop the question and just issue a command. It may seem a little "in your face", but when used correctly, the command title can be very effective. Example: "Stop Using Cell Phones While Driving!" Homework: Are you trying to think of article headline and topic ideas but are coming up dry? A new title template may be just the trick for stimulating your creativity and freshening up your article writing. In this article there are 5 headline templates. This month, use these title templates to generate 5 new articles. Many times it is easiest to write the title before writing the article. For these 5 articles, create the title, then write an article that delivers on what the title promised.
