How to Come Up with a Good Title/ Name

To achieve the good title, you must answer these 4 questions to yourself.
Tip: Make a checklist of titles

  • Does the title relate [to whatever I'm writing/ doing/ it is]?
             This one is pretty obvious, because you don't want a name that is completely different. Unless the name has sentimental meaning or whatever, its stupid. But also you want your title to relate to what the person is looking for, for example, if I searched for "How to come up with a good title" I would click on the blog post 'How to come up with a good title"
  • Is this eye-catching?
                  You want to have a title that makes someone want to look at. TRUTH: I judge a book by its cover. I scan through a shelve of books and look for the cover with the best title or art. I'm sorry! Remember that the names of video, blog post, article etc. come up in a list on google, you want the person to click on yours.
  • Is this long?
            I have a short attention span, so if I see a book called "If a blogger thought that their blog name, a random blog, is weird  then they will change the title because blah blah ... " I would lose interest after 'name'. Plus, the title already told you half of the information in the book.
  • Is the spelling and grammar right?
          Unless you don't care. (Like me) or if thats what your going for. But, correct spelling and grammar shows sophistication and maturity.
If you answered no to all these questions, YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE TITLE.
