Signs Your Article Will 110% Flop.
Creating content, sometimes gives off those “this isn’t going to turn out well” vibes, even before you’re done.
You can often tell when an article won’t succeed just from a few tell-tale signs.
Here are five obvious indicators your article might need some TLC before you hit publish.
Your Title Could Cure Insomnia
Imagine you’re scrolling through a sea of articles.
You’re looking for something engaging, something that hooks you right away. But when your title reads like, “My Thoughts on Marketing” or “General Tips for Life,” it’s like hiding in plain sight.
You don’t want to be overlooked, and unfortunately, bland titles are a sure way to blend in instead of standing out.
To craft a title that pulls readers in, make it direct and intriguing.
Firstly, ask yourself:
- Would this title make you curious enough to click?
- Does it convey a benefit or offer a specific takeaway?
- Does it differentiate itself from the countless similar topics?
For example, instead of “How to Be Productive,” try something like “Five Surprising Productivity Hacks That Save Hours.”
