(Edited)

Hi there and welcome to my vlog, my name is Erik Gustafsson and I go by the handle @flaxz on DTube, CTPtalk and Hive.

Attention! - Work On Your Title - Make It Stand Out

In this video I talk about your title and how important it is that it grabs attention so that people see it and starts engaging with your posts and videos.

You most likely have spent an hour or more making your post or video, then spend 5 minutes making a title that it deserves.

Go for creative and descriptive, and be the purle cow as @jangle said in her video, link to that below.

I Am Alive - Day 111

It is now my day 111 for the #IAmAliveChallenge, and you can read how it started and how to join in this guide, I Am Alive Challenge - The Guide.

This is all about celebrating that you are alive despite the hard times we now live in, and to share that with the world and the Hive blockchain, you are alive, and that matters.

We Are Alive!

Enjoy Watching The Video!

Stay safe, awesome and alive!

Amen to that!
To be honest, I don't open videos that don't have unique title... Sorry, but that's like that...

I want to see some topic, and if there is, your post has a much more possibility to be picked for ThisIsAwesome, and also for more upvotes!

Thanks for pointing this out, Erik!

Yes! AMEN! Thank you for addressing this. A unique title really is crucial to attract viewers. Since I started my content out on YouTube before coming to the blockchain, I learned this early on. When the title is the same old thing or just has no pizzazz to it, it is not going to be looked at very much & it can be the best video ever. Think of the national brands that are advertised. They all have a slogan or catchy headline to initially attract people to even look at their brand.

So, YES! I hope people start doing this more often. Because seeing the same title from everyone usually doesn't get looked at by me lol. Great idea about the Actifit as well.

Thanks for doing this video. So happy you talked about this. :) 💛❤️

YAY! Awesome job Erik. It's amazing what a different title can do for your post/videos. I have much better results since I started doing that with my videos way back. :)

Thank you for the tip & remember, YOU are MR Awesome ;) ❤️ ❤️

I couldn't agree more. Every post, ad, or video we put out should have a "hook" to grab the attention of the reader/viewer and draw them in. Thank you for this reminder.

Thanks Garrey, yes a good hook is needed, but no clickbait though, descriptive and creative works best in my experience, stay awesome.

Is never too much to talk about this and anything else around this matter.
In a world full of sheep, you must be creative to stand out!
Thanks for the reminder Mister Awesome :)

Thanks @elements5, yes that is correct, and to spin that even further, it is not clickbait if we deliver on what the title says.

Great advice! Every day I struggle with coming up with a catchy title that wouldn't be misleading. Social media is full of clickbaits. LOL!

I love it that your background is always full of greens. I wish we have more green sceneries where I am. Instead, I have more city views and old & new buildings. Boohoo! I miss getting close to nature...

Happy weekend!

Thanks a lot Rosyel, yeah it is a continuous job to create good title's lol.

And we do have a lot of green areas in Stockholm, the city is built in an archipelago with lot's of smaller and bigger islands and some coastal mainland too, plus many parks, especially on land that is not very fit to build on, and the fact that Sweden in general is sparsley populated compared to most other countries, we are 10 million people in a country the size of Germany.

Keep up your awesome work.

I totally agree, Erik! I always try to make the titles of my posts catchy, otherwise people won't read beyond the title! I have actually been complimented on that! ;)
