I recently read a blog post that shared a number of word that when used in the title of your blog posts were more likely to get that post read. As I looked through the list, I realized that many of them would have a similar effect if used in the title of your presentations. In other words, when these words are used in your presentation titles, you’ll be more likely to get people to want to hear those presentations.
