FotorCreated

News line of social networks is the main channel of consuming content. Modern generation of “indolent reader” studies information briefly. First thing that strikes the readers eye is a title, and if it isn’t affecting one, nobody will read this post further.

Titles overloaded with information usually so-called “longposted” and never get a great number of reviews, if it isn’t post in celebrity news-line. In that case, reputation and fame are on the top of the world.

2. Titles with figures.

This sort of information is perceived better by our subconsciousness. Figures simplify post’s perception: “5 hair-dresses for everyday” perceives better than “Five hair-dresses for everyday”. Consequently, more readers will pay attention to post and likely even study it entirely.
