You offer some great tips here. Getting the title and the lede right are crucial to success as a blogger. People's attention spans are so short on the internet, that if you don't hook them right off the bat, you're doomed. Derek Halpern, who you quoted in this post, talks about evoking high-arousal emotions. He mentions 7 of them: awe, anger, anxiety, fear, joy, lust, and surprise. He recommends finding a way to weave one of those emotions into titles, ledes, and body content. The better you can do this, the more powerful your writing is. (You can find the article where he talks about that at www.socialtriggers.com/craft-contagious-content/ ). Hope you're doing well, Michael. Take care. Brock Michael,
