What Can We Learn From Breaking Down Danny Forest’s Headlines?
Analyzing the analyzer’s 2020 articles
You have probably seen some of Danny’s breakdowns. The orange images with interesting headlines about headlines. He has blessed the writing community with a thorough analysis of writers — Top writers and the everyday writer. No one can hide from Danny Forest.
In his analyses, he tries to capture what makes a headline stand out. Another interesting aspect of a story is the response it gets from the readers. We don’t have much to go by, but we can use claps and responses as metrics for our analysis.
After I did my initial analysis of Danny, I arranged a call so we could talk about my findings. Thankfully, Danny accepted and we had a long chat about what we have found. (Notice the color of his chair)
Time to analyze
I already have an analysis tool that I have used on many writers so all I need is a CSV of Danny’s stories. I normally gather the data from around 100 stories. In Danny’s case, I have 93 articles ranging from April to November 2020.
