Article Titles
Last Update: September 24, 2009
I like this new blog editor...much better than the old one. Look over to the right hand column. See "member rank?" What is this ranking based on? Activity, forum posts, # of sign-ins per week, or what? Yesterday I was ranked 363 and now today I am 1707...I haven't done much; maybe 1400 other WA members just jumped ahead.
Anyway, back to article titles. That's my blockade right now. How to title my articles. Back to the drawing board...

Hi EvergreenGirl
I once read an article several years ago about creating headings / titles for articles. The person suggested writing down 100 titles (yep, two 0's!) and then choose the best one. This forces your mind to become creative. We can easily come up with two or three, but to do 100 really takes a lot of thinking. But it is worth it, because your article's title will determine whether people continue reading or not. If you want to get hold of a really good resource have a look at Sean D'Souza's PsycoTactics (psychotactics.com - it is about the psychology of the brain in marketing). Sean is really good, and his BrainAudit (psychotactics.com/brainaudit) is worth its price.
