It’s happened to most of us. You’ve written what you thought was a great story only to hear the sound of silence after publishing it. Could the issue be your boring headline?

And if so, can you quickly learn to write better headlines?

I experimented recently with a headline analyzer tool. Here are my first impressions.

A Good Headline is NOT Clickbait

Nothing annoys me more than clickbait headlines that lure you in with false promises.

Because I have been fooled once too often, I was skeptical about tools to help you write better headlines.

Then I read a story by Julianne Buchler called Pleasurable Earnings Achievable After 3 Months on Medium With Titillating Headlines. Among other things, she describes her experience with a free headline analyzer tool.

There’s a Method Behind Attractive Titles

Julianne’s article intrigued me, so I immediately tested it out.

I fired up the tool and entered the title of a draft article called “My Experiment Writing an Evergreen Article.”
