Where Headlines Have Gone Horribly Wrong

When I was young, I sported pink hair, suede sneakers, raver jeans, and punk t-shirts.

Sure, I was cool, but strike up a conversation and you’d wonder if something was wrong with me.

I had nothing interesting to say. I was all show.

And that, unfortunately, is the direction online content has been going.

Here are 10 reasons your humdinger of a headline won’t save the catastrophe that is your blog post.

In this roughly 10-minute episode of Rough Draft with Demian Farnworth, you’ll discover:

• Where content marketing has gone wrong with headlines


• How to add life to your content with warm-blooded verbs


• A simple way to keep your readers from getting upset over big blocks of text


• A few tips on opening your article with a bang


• How to engage readers with fascinating figures of speech
