Make your titles specific. The more specific your title is, the more likely people are to click on it if they are interested in what you have to say. For example, instead of saying "How to Improve Your Website," you could say "How to Increase Website Traffic by 20% in 30 Days."

Use numbers. People love lists, so using numbers in your titles is a great way to pique their interest. For example, "10 Tips for Writing Clickable Post Titles" or "5 Secrets to Writing Headlines That Get Clicked."

Thanks for sharing Nika.
I've seen someone take lists to the next level.
"11 AI tools that will boost your productivity. The 8th one will surprise you."
It's a cheeky trick but it almost worked. I really really wanted to click it :)
Thank you for sharing babe!
Are there benefits to having a more viewed post on product hunt? Is there an algorithm that pushes you out more?
