5 Suggestions For Writing Legal Blog Post Titles
We know that we shouldn’t judge something immediately when we see it. However, we can’t help our human nature and each day we must quickly judge things so that all of our time isn’t wasted. The result of this is that as a blog author, you must learn to write effective titles for your legal blog.
Your best content will remain undiscovered if you don’t make the effort to write effective titles.
I’ve put together five suggestions for creating eye-catching titles for your legal blog posts:
1. Structure your title as a question – People often read blogs to find out the answer to a question they may have. By posing the question as the title to your post, you will intrigue those readers that want to know the answer to read your article. This is even more true with legal blogs because often the material can be confusing and overwhelming for those who aren’t legal professionals.
2. Titles on magazines are a great resource – Magazine copywriters are competing with hundreds of other magazines on the rack for your attention. Online articles often work the same way. You can learn from people who have been doing this successfully for a long time. Browse through the titles of articles on magazine covers for ideas.
3. Use lists in your blog titles – Internet users like to consume information is short bullet points. For this reason, lists are great for articles on the web. Take this article for instance. By offering a list of 5 ways to improve your legal blog post titles, I have gotten you to read this far.
4. Address a problem the reader might have – People are most often times focused on themselves and their problems. This is especially true of people looking for legal help. This is why by addressing a problem that a reader might have in the title of your post, you will engage the reader.
5. State a Benefit or Explain How to do Something – Giving practical advice is always eye-catching. Even though things may seem routine or simple to an expert, there are plenty of people out there that don’t have the knowledge you do. This is especially applicable to lawyers. Legal issues are complex and intimidating. Offering simple how to’s (perhaps how to hire a legal professional or how to handle the aftermath of a legal incident) will make for great legal blog post titles.
Be sure to keep your titles short if possible. A good length is in the neighborhood of 7-9 words. In addition, capitalizing the first letter of each word is important.
