75 Done-For-You Blog Post Title Templates

- August 10, 2016 | by April -

75 Blog Post Title Templates

You write the draft of your blog post as you sip your favorite tea.

You take 30 minutes to edit it the next day as you listen to Adele (Send My Love speaks to my soul).

You set up the perfect photo to go with your blog post, snap about 37 options, pull them up on your computer, spend 20 minutes editing seven of them even though you’re only going to use one.

You pick the right photo and add text to it.

You format it in WordPress, wondering for the 89th time if you should hire a virtual assistant to do this for you.

You’re ready to publish…but wait!

You haven’t brainstormed the right title. Ugh.

You just want to publish it already. You’ve used up all your energy and willpower actually writing the darn thing and taking the right image for it.

You come up with a title option, quickly type it in, look at it closely to make sure there aren’t any typos and you hit publish.

You share it on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram and sit back to wait for comments and shares.

The next morning you brew a cup of lemon and ginger tea and pull out three oatmeal raisin cookies for breakfast. Who’s gonna know? And they’ve got oatmeal in them. That totally counts as a breakfast food.

You sit down to check your stats and you’re disappointed. Why aren’t people clicking on your blog post? Why aren’t they sharing it? Why aren’t they commenting?

They must be idiots or all on vacation at the same exact time. That was some of your best work.

But was it?

Did you really spend the extra time coming up with the best, most click-worthy title?

If not, you wasted a great opportunity. Titles matter more than most people realize. It’s really the ONLY thing that matters when you’re trying to get people to click to read the blog post. If it doesn’t grab their attention and intrigue them to find out more, you’ve lost.

To make this process easier, I’ve created 75 blog post title templates. Simply add in your content to the templates below to come up with a bunch of different ideas. Then, pick the best option.

    So helpful, April, thank you! Is renaming old posts a good thing to do? (I’m guessing yes, but wonder if it’s worth it to mess up pins and links.)
