For example, you've selected dieting as your subject area - and you discover that what your market is REALLY interested in rightnow is diets that are not dangerous to your health. Your title could be something like: WARNING: What You Don't Know About Low-Carb Diets That May Hurt You. It's a matter of knowing what the REAL concerns are in your market.

Once you have grabbed their attention, tapped into their interest,the final step is to convince them that YOU, the author, offersa believable, unique and better fulfillment of their desire thanothers do. You can create curiosity by: - giving your approach it's own "technology" name - listing the number of steps or formula stages - promising results - Book Title Writing SECRET #4: Overcoming Objections Finally, there is one final step that can really make your booktitle effective - that's to eliminate the biggest objection yourprospects will have to not buy your product.
