Hi, nice post really. Thanks.
I think the most important part in creating headlines is as much as possible clear heading.
I don’t think it will be of any help, if headline is attractive, but it doesn’t clearify what’s inside.
Even If I click on attractive headline – that is just a click.
What matters is what happens after click. Will someone sign up, will someone buy…. I think attractive headline are missing this point regulary. Regards,
