Clickbaits: You Wouldn't Believe Why I Wrote This, What Happens Next Will Shock You!

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Everyone's reaction was priceless! What you will witness will restore your faith in humanity!

Have you resorted to applying the art and science of writing effective headlines or click-worthy lines that would tempt the readers to click and read the actual story?

These type of clickbait lines really works to lure traffic to your website but ...the big butt ..I mean BUT is .... you are nothing extraordinary if your actual content is rubbish. You just created a lot of hype but under-delivered.

However, "“If your headline isn’t good, your article is irrelevant. And if your article is irrelevant, then you’re not getting any traffic."

But how do we really write a good headline that is shareable, draws people in, and is not manipulative?

Most people wanted to get lured in by clickbaits. As they browse through their timelines in Facebook or read new posts all over their other social media accounts, the search for an interesting headline is bound to lead to one or two, or more, clickbaits. What exactly is the phenomenon that entices us to click?

I received the email message below yesterday (January 1). What a great way to start the year.

"Hi Ross, 

In behalf of __________, I would like to express our gratitude for your excellent write up of our restaurant. The positive exposure you gave us on social media provided us with a nice introduction. Customer response has dramatically increased since then and we hope to maintain this upward momentum with quality food and great service at reasonable prices. 

As 2015 ends, We wish you a Happy New Year and we would like to give you Gift Certificates. These can be availed at _____________ Quezon City. You may call ___________ for time of pick up or reservation. 

Here's my mobile for any concerns __________. 

Best,
________________"

It reminded me that there are yet so many Gift Certificates we have in our possession that still needs to be claimed. Actually, many of the GCs have already expired already due to so many months of being unused. What I don't like about them is the fact that they have expiration dates. It is not so convenient on my part to visit the establishments just to claim the GCs so they are usually remain in storage until I have the opportunity to have an event within the area where the establishments are located.

Thus, I agreed to my wife when she asked if we wanted to go out and eat. The reason was because it was going to be our son's birthday on January 6. We couldn't celebrate it during school time because all of us will be very busy even on weekends. My kids would often complain of too much homework and projects at school that their weekends are never free. The weekends are also wash days for my wife so everyone is just too occupied in chores.

Stray Bullets: Ligaw na Bala, Saan Ba Napunta?

Some people never learn. They keep on doing what goes against pure logic. They are only after the thrill of the moment. They wallow in the wow where they can be pictured as all powerful and privileged.

Owning a gun does not give us the right to use it whenever we want to. It should be for a specific purpose and that is not to brag about our ownership.

It is not a toy similar to the firecrackers we use to celebrate the holidays. Remember that those bullets you shoot up into the air will eventually fall down back into the earth and hit whatever is in their way.

An object or a person - it doesn't matter. What matters is it is still a senseless act that needs to be extremely reprimanded.

The person who fires a gun to entertain himself and others is not fit to be among us. They should rot in jail together with our politicians and government officials who are only in power because they want to gain a self-entitlement.
