Best Practices for Writing Headlines

Great headlines grab attention and clearly communicate value within tight character limits. Different platforms have different requirements, so it's crucial to optimize your copy for each channel.

Front-load important words: Put key information at the beginning in case it gets truncated

Use power words: Action verbs and emotional triggers increase engagement

Test multiple variations: A/B test different headline lengths and styles

Consider mobile: Email subject lines show ~30-40 chars on mobile devices

Include numbers when relevant: "5 Ways to..." often outperforms generic headlines

Avoid clickbait: Be specific and deliver on your promise to build trust
