The Cape Point's fynbos plains are home to 1200 species of indigenous plants and part of the larger Cape Floral Kingdom, one of the six global plant kingdoms and by far the richest and smallest floral kingdom of the world.

The Right Headline, Can Be A Click Magnet

There are literally millions upon millions of websites on the Internet not to mention the endless of pieces of content that these sites hold.

• Always Present Your Headline With Something Good
• Happy Endings

Baiting Your Headlines

Just pause for a second and try to put it into perspective. Have you ever given it some thought as to just how are you going to make your own content stand out among this giant sea of information?

To be more precise, how are you going to convince people that your content is in fact worth taking their time to read?

I know of one effective, legal way to do so. You bait them with the use of headlines.

The right headline, can be a click magnet, and the great part is that you mostly have total control on how to design your headline.

The only downside is that you have the power to make or break your headline Many SEO experts agree, that Google appears to be taking a web page's bounce rate into account now. If a page has a high bounce rate therefore they are saying that something about a particular page is not right.

I personally do not know to what degree this actually affects ranking , but it is enough to tell me that coming up with awesome content headlines to entice readers to stay and read it is now more important than ever before. So here are some tips towards helping you design a better “baiting” headline:

Always Present Your Headline With Something Good

flickr.com

We were always told from a young age, that if we ever wanted something, we have to work hard for it. For example, if we would like to buy a nice car, then we have to work our behinds off to earn enough money to buy it.

The same goes for those who would like to have that perfect look, they would go under the knife and endure painful surgeries just to achieve that desired look.

That is the reason why headlines, which promise something good, coming out of another thing that is excellent, will catch many people off guard. In most cases (if not all) headlines such as those will assuredly bait their interest since readers will feel compelled to find out more.

A few years back, I read an article where the headline read: “Man lost weight by eating Donuts”. Lose weight by eating something totally not diet-friendly? How is that possible?

After reading that headline, I was totally enticed. I was compelled to know more and just had to click to find out.

Here's another example: “Look Like A Million Dollars… For Less Than $50" is also a great headline to entice people to click and find out more.

I try to design my headlines by coming up with a positive and then coupling them with another positive and usually will have a winning headline on my hands.

Happy Endings

Many people suffering from chronic problems, which are constantly plagued by them to the point that they feel they cannot take it anymore, will, when they are pushed to the edge of desperation, would try (or even buy) anything to get rid of their nagging problems.

You must off course be ready to back up your claim, because misleading headlines can be even more damaging than lousy headlines. So if you claim something in your headlines, then you had better be ready to back it up.

These kinds of headlines make readers really curious. They will keep on wondering to themselves what that one thing that can make such a world of a difference is. It will continuously play in the mind of the readers, and eventually, they just have to know.

One reason why these headlines work as well as they do is because it usually involves just 1 or 2 methods, and yet they can make a huge difference. That suggests that this method or secret is extemely powerful indeed.

Emotional Benefits

Many people only buy what they want and not what they need.

When people say they need something, the chances are, they actually wanted it in the first place and saying that they need it is just another way of justifying their wants.

So, when using your headlines effectively, you can cultivate that “want” or “need”.

What actually drives a person to want something to the point that they think that they need it?

You do this by providing benefits.

Remember however, that you cannot provide just any kind of benefit, it has to be an emotional benefit. If you can therefore find and attach the correct emotional benefit to anything, such as a product, it will sell.
Finally,emotions are very powerful motivators. So learn how to stir up emotions when designing your headlines. Depending on what your content is, The emotion can either be humorous, sadness, anger, happiness, inspirational etc. and depends entirely on the tone of your content, you can write your own unique content and eye catching headline right here at wikinut.com

Would You Like To Be An Online Writer?

Posted in Wikinut>Guides>Writing

I have spent many hours trying to find out different ways of reproducing article content legally.In my search, I have come across several bogus ways of doing it but I have also discovered what really works...

• 10 million new subscribers joining the Internet per day.
• No Instant Riches Available Online
• It is Not Simple To Make Millions
• Stick To These Five Elements
• Conclusion

10 million new subscribers joining the Internet per day.

Are you thinking about becoming a writer? If so, how would you like to be able to start writing really soon? All it will take, are short correctly written articles of about 500 to 750 words per article.
NOTE:This article is all of 1314 words, 48 paragraphs and 185 lines. You will only need to write half of that to succeed. Writing a review about almost anything you want to.are even shorter. Remember the old saying; "No man is an island"?

Well nowhere else on earth is that statement more appropriate than on the Internet.
Just Google or Bing, a really way out phrase, like "purple pumpkin pie" or just about any other weird phrase and the chances are, you're going to find it listed right there on a search engine or probably all of them

The" world wide web" is the most gigantic phenomenon to hit our planet this century,with more than 10million new subscribers joining worldwide every day.
It's small wonder that the Internet is fast approaching the billion plus subscribers mark.
This is largely due to the growing millions of cellphone Web-surfers now joining daily.This service has been available on the cellular network for years, it has however only recently become more user friendly and also much more affordable.

No Instant Riches Available Online

Get Passionate about writing

So, how does this affect you, you might ask? Well since I have become more"home-bound" for want of a better word,due to my leg operation. I have been spending
many more hours on the web, searching for a real paying job. I'm not going to bore you to death with the usual instant rags to riches nonsense that's being pushed to unsuspecting newcomers or "newbies" as they are called on the Internet.That's not likely to happen some time soon.

It is Not Simple To Make Millions

flickr.com

If it were that simple to make millions instantly, then how come Oprah, Bill Gates, Donald Trump and Richard Branson, to name a few, aren't cashing in on it?
What they will tell you though, is this, besides plain hard work there is one other little "secret" ingredient to their collective success and that is to work "intelligently" or Smartly.
What I have here, is just such an intelligent proposition. First of all, I know, not all of you are going to be interested in trying it out, it's definitely not for the fainthearted and will require some effort put into it from your side, albeit exhilarating work as such.

Where else in the world can an ordinary citizen express an opinion about something, be considered an expert on the subject and be paid by thousands of people that read it for as long as it stays on the Internet, sometimes for months, even years, do a Google search " The Longest Running Article on the Internet"?
You'll be amazed at how a simple title like: "I like going to the library" can withstand the test of time. How about 18 years and still running. In fact, that same article has been running in several hard copy books and magazines for about 100 years!

Some readers of this article will rush into it to satisfy their curiosity, others will simply reject it out of hand But I am betting, that some of you are going to see this very lucrative discovery for what it is, a sustainable source of income for years to come, residually, which has the potential of blowing away your 9 to 5 job eventually. Those people are the ones that I am writing to. They are the ones that are feeling that same sudden"electric charge" of enthusiasm and anticipation that I felt when I first saw it's income potential. You will want to rush headlong into this great opportunity of a lifetime.

Stick To These Five Elements

flickr.com

A few months of dedicated research and writing, let's say 2 to 3, ten minute articles a day for a year, will reward you many times over every time people read one of them.
Especially if your articles are well written and always stick to these five elements:

* Are you telling your story so that that it directly connects with your reader?
* Are you answering the most common questions in the market?
* Are you writing your article so that it connects with or includes your reader?
*Are you doing your job of showcasing the benefits in each chapter?
*Are you ending your article with an action plan to guide your reader into applying your information to their own situation?
Grow your articles every day for a good harvest in months to come.

Does your article offer a fresh perspective or new angle on how to apply the information or simply getting the work done quicker? Does your article instill confidence with your reader that you are a credible source of information?

Regardless of how well you know your topic, your article must always include statistics and facts to demonstrate your knowledge about the subject.

If you consider an article that you enjoyed reading, you will soon realize, that one of the key factors, was the style or personal tone that the author had used in creating the content.

On the down side and Oh yes, there is one, for some reason not all of the sites pay outside of the U.S. There are some that actually don't pay at all but are quite willing to allow you to add your own referral URL to the bottom of the script, in fact they encourage it as it lends an air of authenticity to an article.I have published on some of them for several unique reasons which I explain on my website as well as many other useful writing tips that I explain in broad, simple terms as well read here...
