It’s a numbers game!
People love articles that have a number in the headline, a list of ideas that’s easy to read, and if they are a bit different with great titles, they will be passed on.
Some number headlines that I think are great:

Tools
People love things that make their lives easier, so find things your clients need help with, tools that you have used on-line and tell people about them
For example CLOTHES SUIT SHAPE, TRAFFIC MONITORING, APP FOR PARKING
Become a Teacher
No matter what is out there, people generally want to learn how to do it. How do you fold that shirt so neatly? How do you shuffle poker chips like a pro? Teach us.
You can do the how to in two ways, through video, or by written instruction, but video is very powerful. A fantastic example of this is How to Apply eye-liner or another is How to Twitter
They are both brilliant, and can be re-tweeted and passed around from site to site. On the other hand, step-by-step articles work well too. An example is how to catch a rat.
