Is there a document similar to this for blog headlines?
I just started to write a blog and have struggled coming up with good headlines. Most tend to follow the content in the blog. So if I am talking about x, y and z - the title is "x, y and z" which seems really dry.
"You won't believe what happened when these people changed from x to y" /s
While I included the /s tag, the sad truth is that these headlines would probably get you the highest number of visitors. Creating curiosity works well, maybe you can find a headline that accomplishes that without clickbait.
I'll recommend a book published in 1957 The Hidden Persuaders by Vance Packard. Although some of the examples are dated, it takes you through a stream of consciousness about how to "stoke the hivemind"
Pay particular attention to Packard's 8 hidden needs and factor it in structuring your headlines.
