You may spend hours working on your article, carefully choosing your subject matter - but how long do you spend creating your title? Is this the last thing you decide on - a hurried mashing together of some quickly thought-up words before you hit the submit button?

If so, then it may be time for you to work on improving your titles because no matter how well written your article, it could be still be rejected if your title doesn't come up to scratch.

There are certain steps you can take to ensure your article titles are the best they can be:

* Make sure your title is the right length. It shouldn't be less than two words long - the idea of the title is to inform your reader exactly what the article is all about, so make sure you encompass the subject in a keyword-rich title

* Ensure you create varied article titles, especially if you're writing numerous articles around the same subject. You'll need to make sure that your titles are different. If they are all the same or very similar, then it may look as if your articles are the same too - and they may be rejected on submission

* Write the very best articles that you can and then compose equally good intriguing titles that will grab the attention of your potential readers.

Remember, your title is what will draw your reader in, what will arouse their curiosity. By creating a keyword-rich, enticing title, you'll increase your article submissions and also your readership. There is the saying "don't judge a book by its cover", but with articles, these are judged by the title! If a reader's curiosity isn't piqued by a tantalising title, you may have lost them.
