Free Linkbait Advice #7 - Girl Chokes on Microphone!
Hi Bompa,
Looks like you have some great advice. Any suggestions for my blog on public speaking and personal development?
Thanks,
James

Hi James,
I see that you will be giving a free workshop in Westboro, Ma. I was raised in Westboro 1st grade through high school. 
I’m living in the Philippines now, so I guess I’ll miss your clam bake.
Anyways, linkbait for your public speaking blog.
James, assume that the titles of your blog posts will be showing up somewhere in the search engines or on someone else’s blog, or even in some forum.
You want the title to do more than catch their attention, you want the title to be irresisible; they will just have to click on it.
So, “Girl Chokes on Microphone!” will cause people to click the link.
“Yah, but it’s a fake headline, and I don’t do that stuff”.
No, it’s not a fake headline if you work it gently into your post with something like:
“Folks, wouldn’t you be horrified to actually read that headline in your daily newspaper?”
or
“Fortunately, the girl did not actually swallow the mic, but as soon as she went live on the mic, she forgot her whole speech”.
So, the blog title should be somewhat of a shocker, then the first line of the post makes a transition into the actual material.
I decided to rewrite a few of your blog’s Titles in order to give you the idea. To make my ideas more realistic, I will include my attempt of a opening transition line.
Your title: Public Speaking Success: The 80/20 Rule of Speech Preparation
Rewritten: 80% of Speeches Are Never Heard!
(Because 80% of the speech is in the prep before the speech is given)
Your Title: Public Speaking Success: The Pregnant Pause
Rewitten: Americans are Getting Pregnant On Stage!
(by utilizing what some call the pregnant pause, more speeches are getting pregnant)
Your Title: Tips for Toastmasters: Five Tips for Successful Meetings:
Rewritten: Toastmasters Get Tipsy!
If you need help with your next title, give me a shout, only $100 for 5 rewrites/title. 
good luck,
Bompa
