   Brie Hoffmanposted 9 years ago

   I have an article that I think is pretty good but it doesn't get enough traffic.  I'm hoping that some of you can help me with the title.
   
   Any ideas will be appreciated:
   
   Save Money using the Sun: How to use the Sun to Survive Off the Grid or in a Collapse
   
   That is the current title..any ideas to make it more marketable?

      Solar Power Makes Economic Sense, perhaps? or maybe Solar Sense Makes Money Sense...just off the top of my head! Or even Stack up Savings with Solar Energy..

   Gotta scatter the phrases, "solar power" and "solar energy", around in there; both title and content. As for using the word, "solar", twice in the title... Maybe, maybe not.

      Yep..you are right on!  I just did a key word search..so I changed the title to "9 Ways to Save Money using Solar Power".  That should do it, I hope.

         Lists do really well on Pinterest! I can see that 20 things about New York and 9 ways to beat the new world order as good examples... do up an image for them and I'll pin them too!

               No, I mean use an image at the top right of the hub which will encourage people to pin and repin it. I usually use free use images. I have hubs on finding free use images and making MFPs.
               
               Here is an example of an MFP image I have with somewhere around 100,000 pins.

                     Yes, that was made in Picmonkey. Picmonkey does not need any downloads, it works in your browser.

                        Hmm, I'll have to look for it again.  I tried what I thought was a download and it messed up my computer.

                           There should be no downloads at all.

                              I really have to thank you.  I've changed about 5 of my hubs using picmonkey and the traffic is really taking off.  I can't thank you enough.

   "How To Revert To Solar Power In Case Of An EMP Attack" would gain some interest.
   
   You can Google EMP attack to get the gist of what and why this is a popular subject now and for the past year or so.

         What about keeping your original title, but deleting the words "use the sun to"? Then it would read: Save Money using the Sun: How to Survive Off the Grid or in a Collapse

                  I'd recommend using more "matching" colours on your MFPs. You need the text to work with the picture, not try and compete.
