2. Ultra-Specific: Answer your audience’s question and get straight to the point. You must know your target audience in order to meet their needs.
   
3. Urgent: Get your readers to click and read now. Make it seem urgent to click on your headline. Instill the fear of missing out on an amazing offer so that they’ll take a look right away.

How to Design an Attention-Grabbing Headline

Always design your headline to appear as visually interesting as possible. You should do this for advertisements, social media posts, blog post titles, email headers, and your website.

Follow These Simple Design Techniques

1. Use a large font size for the page headline. This draws the viewer’s attention to your awesomely written headline and, of course, gets them to read it first.
   
2. Next, draw their eyes to it with a highly contrasting color. If the page has a dark-colored background, then a light or white-colored headline will stand out best.
   
3. Give your title some space… don’t start writing your article or message immediately. Hit return once or twice to make sure it’s not crowded and stands out.
   
4. Finally, consider creating a super attention-grabbing headline with graphics. This is perfect for advertisements, web pages, and social media or email headers.
