BuzzSumo: We Analyzed 100 Million Headlines. Here’s What We Learned

Great data dump from Buzzsumo about headlines that created interest and engagement.

Caveat: "We looked at the headlines of 100m articles published from March 1st, 2017 to May 10, 2017 and analysed those that gained the most social shares." - Marketing methods change with the wind and the data is only a snapshot from a 3 month period.

Biggest takeaway:

Questions to ask as you write your copy
  • Why should the reader care about your content?
  • Can you make a promise or claim about the impact of your article on the reader?
  • Can you include an emotional element – especially if looking to gain traction on Facebook?
  • Are you tapping into a trending topic, if so can you call it out in the headline?
  • Can you make it a quiz or challenge?
  • Could you position it as an explanation or answer post?
  • Who’s your tribe – what headlines resonate with them?
  • Will a more partisan or controversial headline appeal to your tribe?
  • Are you aiming for 12-18 words in your headline?
