Create More Click-Worthy Headline Titles With Thrive Headline Optimizer (Review + Tutorial)

To my fellow blogging colleagues and content creators, just think about this scenario very carefully.

You spend countless hours or even days crafting the best piece of content for your blog.

You make sure you’ve added everything you can think of that’s worth adding to make your post epic; images, graphics, real-world data, videos, quotes, the whole shebang.

You optimise your post for search engines. Yep, you feel as if your post is going to be a traffic stopper.

You hit that publish button and begin your marketing and promotion onslaught…

But then something happens…

Hardly anybody visits your post, you get few social shares if any and few comments.

I know the feeling trust me…

How could this have happened?

Well here’s what you did to seal the fate of your blog post…

You went and gave it the most boring, the most uninspiring, the most un-click-worthy headline title ever.

The result? Total ‘epic’ fail…

The worst thing is, you probably don’t realise just how much of a negative impact this is having on your readership.

People simply avoiding clicking on that all-important headline title link to read your post, all because the title itself was simply NOT compelling enough for them.

Did you know that 80% of readers never make it past the headline title?

Staggering isn’t it? So it’s pretty important, no let me rephrase that, it’s pretty freakin important you get the headline right to start with right?

So let me ask you something else.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could create the type of headline titles for your blog, that would get you the most attention?

Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could create super catchy headline titles that demanded to be clicked on every single time?

Wouldn’t it be great if you could use more than one or even two headline titles and test them against each other to see which one got the most attention and clicks?

Of course there’s already a bunch of awesome tools out there you can use to help you craft great headline titles, in fact we covered some of those tools in this post. But there’s now and even better solution to creating killer magnetic headline titles for your blog posts, and for your content in general.

How To Use Thrive Headline Optimizer

Like all Thrive plugins, The Headline Optimzer plugin is simple to use, here’s how.

Once you have it installed on your WordPress site you simply do two things.

Step One: When you begin writing your post in the editor, you simply write as many headline titles as you can think of for the topic of the post you want to write about. There is a template provided for you to write your post title ideas (see image below).

Step Two: This is the fun bit. Once you’ve published your post, the plugin will go to work and begin doing A/B testing the headlines you created for the post. During testing it takes into consideration engagement factors, click throughs, scroll throughs and time on content etc. It will then gather data on which headline is working best for your content. It will then automatically select the winning headline and you’re done.

As for your other existing content post titles, you can also set the plugin to automatically go to work on testing different types of titles you put in. Perhaps you have a bunch of posts you want to improve engagement on, you can use the bulk test headline feature to do this for you.
