Your headline is the most important 60 characters you will write. 80% of people read the headline, only 20% read the article. Here is how to use AI to create headlines that get clicks without being clickbait.
The Headline Problem
Good headlines are:
- Specific (numbers, results, timeframes)
- Relevant (match what the article delivers)
- Intriguing (create curiosity without deception)
Bad headlines are:
- Vague ("Tips for Better Code")
- Clickbait ("You Won't Believe What Happened")
- Generic ("How to Use AI Tools")
