In an
era when the scope of the Internet is expanding rapidly, understanding what a
title is makes it easier to create realistic titles for Helium articles or
others. It also leads towards more appropriate, credible and effective
articles.
What is a title?
About.com suggests that title refers to "a word or phrase given
to a text (an essay, article, chapter, report, or other work) to identify the
subject, attract the reader's attention, and forecast the tone and substance of
the writing to follow".
Consider the following
guidelines re how to create realistic titles for Helium articles.
Search engine optimization
(SEO) is the key to creating realistic titles for Helium.com, as well as
elsewhere on the Internet. In other words, a title should allow a search engine
to find an article immediately, once posted. Key words and phrases make this
possible.
Knowledge-based titles for
Helium.com articles are appropriate, as long as they meet Helium and SEO
standards. In other words, they must be morally and ethically appropriate with
respect to their content and context. Titles that do not meet these standards
are not likely to become freelance writing assignments, as they are not accepted.
Proposed helium.com articles or
assignments submitted by title seeders are accepted by Helium.com, as long as
they are appropriate. Assignments for freelance writers are essentially topical
in nature, inviting potential freelance writers to expand the title horizons
and content further. Adhering to specific topics is vital and increases the
credibility of the title, as well as articles written to it.
The appropriate use of titles,
sub-titles and headings in articles, allows the person reading or rating them
to understand their context and content more easily, as well as to clarify
their significance.
Accuracy of information is
vital in terms of creating realistic titles for Helium articles. The
appropriateness of a title depends upon its accuracy. For example, it becomes
relatively difficult to write an article when a title has been inappropriately
time-dated. Sources of Internet information that lead to the creation of titles
should be verifiable.
One of the most
important aspects of creating titles has to do with its interest level. Is the
title interesting, challenging or exciting in such a way that it will attract
freelance writers and inspire them to write? Will it lead to further research?
Will it draw potential readership?
Creating realistic titles is
important, as it continues to increase the credibility of Helium.com as a
freelance writer’s platform. Each Helium freelance writer should be encouraged
to create and submit appropriate titles to the best of his or her
ability.
