4 Tips
When writing an
article with lots of tips for the reader to use on any given subject, you want
readers to listen. You want to show that
you are knowledgeable on this subject. Use
strong adjectives to describe what kinds of tips you'll be giving them. This is done by using words such as…..
Greatest, Unique, Foolproof, etc..
The reader has to have a compelling reason to click or they will just move on
to the next. The average reader gives
you about 4 sec… before they are either ready to skim or move on completely. Give them reason to settle in and have a good
read; they might learn something.

these methods the next time that you are searching for that million dollar
headline. You can start with these, but
there are hundreds out there for you to use.
Give them a try and separate yourself from the crowd. Every advantage you use in your arsenal will
help in the long run to getting you the most traffic possible to whatever site
you have.
