    A title can drive people to read the post or keep them away. A good title contains these two elements:
    1. Creativity
    2. Ability to trigger reader emotion

    When your headline captures the emotion of the reader, they would read the entire post. Here are some ideas on how to make a good headline:
    1. Use Numbers. Social media are driven when they see digits. For instance, Top 10 Free Digital Scrapbooking Software or 25 Ways to Convert Readers to Becoming Followers.
    2. Use adjectives. Use words that will further entice the reader's attention such as 'Crazy Videos that Will Leave your Viewers Wanting for More.'

    Take time to construct your headline, otherwise you'd compromise the rest of your content.
