Examples of a headline

In a previous post I talked about how womens magazines are a great source for linkbait headlines

For example, there are some great headline ideas over at Magnetic Web Content.

I thought I would share the thought process for the writing of that headline, which I think is pretty good. Although it's not yet been tested and I always think there is a better headline out there.

I try to give the headline about half as much thought as the actual writing of the post. It's so important to get the best headline you can. I always feel I could do better if I had more time, just one more tweak. But there comes a point when you just have to let go.

Here are the alternative headlines I brainstormed, some of them are awful, but the point of a brainstorm is to write down everything you think. A bad idea can be the trigger for a great idea
