Learn from how BuzzFeed creates compelling headlines.

Here are some types of headlines that work well on Medium:

• grand pronouncements like “X is over”, “X is broken”, or “X is bull****”
• Headlines that use negative words like “stop”, “never”, and “don’t ever ____ again”
• The “I _____ and it was _____” pattern (for example: “I ate pizza for breakfast and it was glorious”)
