Why Your Title Matters More Than You Think
Discovery Depends on It
Readers scan dozens of titles in seconds. Yours has one job: make them stop scrolling. A weak title loses readers before they ever see your cover.
Genre Signal Is Everything
Romance readers want a title that feels like romance. Thriller fans want tension in the title itself. The right words pre-sell the experience before a single page is read.
Famous Authors Test Titles
Tim Ferriss tested 6 titles before choosing "The 4-Hour Workweek." James Altucher ran polls before "Choose Yourself." Data beats gut instinct every time.
