You are all smart people and submitted your best guesses. But when it comes down to it ...
It's impossibly hard to know which article headline will perform the best.
Yet headlines are the single most important thing determining if people will click, read and then share your content.
Huffington Post (and other big sites) have full-time developers, editors and copywriters that optimize headlines. They write an article and then iterate through TONS of titles.
Fortunately, we built a tool where you can have that technology for yourself.
Headlines by KingSumo is a stupid-easy-to-use WordPress plug-in that tests your article headlines and picks the best-performing ones.
Here's exactly how it works:
- Add in multiple titles when you write your blog post
- Our proprietary algorithm rotates through the different titles you write and will automatically start showing the one that gets you the most shares and traffic
- All done! Once you set it, you can forget it and move on to other things
All you have to do is spend a couple of minutes entering some headlines. The tool does all the work for you and shows the headline that gets you more traffic and more customers.
Unlike traditional A/B testing, you don't need to worry about starting or stopping a test or choosing a winner. Headlines handles everything for you and automatically adjusts in real-time. Here's how it looks:
Site in a different language than English? Don't worry, Headlines supports all languages :-)
Here's what someone who bought Headlines had to say:
I run a blog, my only product is the content. As a content marketer I spend nearly as much time working on headlines as I do the copy. This tool lets me write 30 headlines, and use three. Out of those three, one is almost certain to be the optimal choice from my list.
This takes away the guesswork. I could do it manually, but my time is worth well more than $99 spent on testing and tracking headlines across my site.
