If you want to know how to write your book’s best book titles, you need to brainstorm with your peers by a survey with 10 sample titles to your target audience for their vote from 1-10 (10 being best). Another way to go is to read the five tips below and the book template of 8 best titles from your from your book coach’s latest findings.
Five Tips Writing a Book Title
1. Include specifics in your title.
They sell better than general. “Get Passion?” is not as strong as “What Make a Passionate Woman?”
3. Avoid Long Titles If Possible.
People’s attention span is short and they won’t remember it.
3. Write a clever title, but include your book’s promise in the subtitle.
These can be the benefits, or results they’ll get after reading it.
4. Write a title that is the book’s thesis.
Write your eBook or other Short Book Fast is both a thesis and title. Great for the search engines to find.
5. Avoid hyperbole and adjectives such as gigantic or amazing.
They don’t add real value. Hype doesn’t work with a lot of people.

Keep the steps at 10 or under. Over that, it’s a list and will seem like gruel instead of chowder. Even a short book needs substance.
