Do you have something to say? Want people to read it? Then you are going to need to know how to write hard headlines and introductions.
If readers aren't grabbed by your headline they won't read your story, blog post or your editorial. Look, I know writing a headline or an intro can be difficult - I do it every week. There are times that I nail it and other times that I know I could have done better. I face the same struggles that you do, which is why I was so excited to read Guy's article Writing Hard Headlines and Intros.
Guy shows us three tips that can help in writing a hard intro in a way that will attract readers. We only have two seconds to grab a reader's attention and because of that we want to write something that makes them want to dig in and find out more. These tips help us do just that.
I agree it can be mind-blodding when trying make the perfect headliner topic stand out!
And I concurr, when I read a headliner with more than one comma or over five words. I tend to lose interest before reading the article.

Off course headline plays important role no matter where you gona place it but one thing is very important that remaining para or body of message should be truly related to Headline. i.e. I saw some AdWords related to free online books but after clicking on I was landed on Viagra pills website. It is awkward.
I know a good book, “Magic Words that Bring You Riches” by Ted Nicholas . Must read.
Can you name please your favorite tip!
