Let Get Started

1. Tell Them What's in it For THEM

Keep in mind to use a smaller number because we are in the fast space world, people are impatient and if you gonna give them 100 tips use a small number like 8 tips or 9 tips.

3. Address Readers in 2nd Person:

What is that means, this's an example

* Think you know social media? Answer these three questions to find out!"

If you read that if feels like someone is speaking to you, that is what you want that person to feel like, you want them to feel like they were spoken too directly. So always try to address the reader in 2nd person if possible.

4. Use Strong Adjectives And Verbs:

For instant, I have a whole list of examples below

* Shocking, Rockstar, Surprising, Hacks, BIG/HUGE, History in the Making, War, Amazing, Beautiful, Ugly, Terrible, Funny, Addicting, Successful, Embarrassed, Mighty, Cool Tips, Kick Butt.
