  1. Awesome list. Two questions for you: First, how much time/thought do you put into writing the headlines for your posts? Second: For these posts, was most of your traffic referred from search engines or Social Media?

  2. Thanks Danny. The longer you write the less time the easier it is to write post headlines. I try to be straightforward in my titles and be sure that they are specifically related to my target audience and also searchable.

    Even though my blog is highly optimized for search I generate the most traffic through social media.
