Create ‘In Demand’ Ebook Titles with These Five Tips
Since good titles, titles with dramatic impact, are so critical to your ebook’s success, some tips for creating titles that will help sell your ebook will probably help you.
Tip #1:
Create some compelling impact for your title. For examples, you can check out titles on other ebooks by visiting eBay and browsing the ebook section of “Everything Else” or your local bookstore. Notice which ones make you stop browsing down the list…which ones make you wonder some. If you cannot attract your visitors and compel them to buy, you will not make sales.
Tip #2:
Use very positive phrases and words; never negative ones. Those negative, bashing someone or something titles and sales page headlines are negative and might just turn off your potential customers.
Tip #3:
Use your expressions, your way of stating something. Your visitors don’t want to buy an ebook that sounds dry and clinical or one that has a title just like any on the hundreds they see everyday while surfing for information. They want the ebook to be friendly, helpful and full of benefits to either teach them or help them with some problem. Your title will set that tone and stimulate them to buy your product
Tip #4:
Don’t be afraid to create an outrageous or off-the-wall title that would grab the reader’s attention and make them want to keep reading your description of your ebook and its benefits. State your title to make them curious about it and want to know more.
Tip #5:
Some words often found in titles are considered power words. They are very effective in attracting customers. The most alluring word is “Free.” Everyone wants something for free. “How to” is another one that will draw attention and stimulate sales.
One thing to use for a guideline when creating titles is your own response when you read other author’s titles. Which ones did you stop scrolling past to read again? Which ones made you curious or put a question in your mind that you wanted answered? Don’t be afraid to copy success. If a good title stopped you from clicking off the page, make note of it and use it to generate ideas for your own.
A good practice is to put your major benefit in your title, if you can. Buyers want to know why they should buy from you. Almost all purchases are based on emotional reasons. Appeal to those emotions and you will have a winner.
People want to look better or lose weight, know how to fix things or create their own recipes, find a way to make more money, for example. These are all emotional tugs that will get you clicks on your “Buy Now” button.
Follow these tips and your wallet will begin to bulge.

Another good tip. Some people try to use adjectives to ad color and flair to their writing. A better place to focus is on your verbs. Smashing through the dullness gap with a strong active verb is much better than laboring though a senselessly padded pretentious paragraph of lengthy useless words. These will devastate your readership, who will be crawling to their no dose bottles.

Nice ideas Ron! I think many people forget just how important a title can be, but it’s the first thing potential buyers will read about your book. It the title doesn’t attract them, even if the book is good, they will leave it.
This post couldn’t have come at a better time for me.
I am just working on finishing up a new ebook and was needing to come up with a name for it.
You have some great tips here that I will use them to come up with a name for this new ebook.
Thanks Ron!

5 very useful tips. The title is very important. Just like the headline in a newspaper. If it grabs your attention, you are more likely to read it. In this case a good title likely will enhance sales. Good advice Ron.

Great info, Ron! Hope you don’t mind if I add two more tips:
1) Keep it short and punchy - it has to look good on an e-cover, even at a small size on a salespage or blog post; and
2) DON’T use any words you know to be SPAM-triggers. Your sales will be minimal if every promotional e-mail sent for it gets routed to the junk mail folder or blocked altogether. No matter how powerful or catchy a title is, it does nothing if people don’t get to see it.
