How to get people to read a blog post
Copyblogger offers good advice on writing blog and other headlines with 10 sure-fire headline formulas that work.
And athough the post is a top ten list, it doesn’t list top ten lists among its suggestions, giving you a bonus 11th tip. How nice. And if you count the “..that work” ending, that’s #12. Lucky day.
Purely for entertainment purposes, here is a blog title I made based on applying all 12 suggestions to a single title:
The top ten surefire things everyone ought to know about how you can discover who else wants the secrets of little known quick methods that work for getting rid of something so you can be proud of yourself like a rock star.
Lets not try that at home please.
If you liked this, you’ll be happy to know it’s part 7 of a 10 part series on magnetic headlines.

Sorry to say though, part seven is the last of the official Magnetic Headlines series. But I think I’m going to do a weekly “headline remix” as a regular feature going forward.
