--- title: Blog Titles With These Numbers Get the Most Social Media Shares description: "By the numbers: Write blog titles that readers are more likely to share on social media. Get more social media shares with better blog titles." image: https://www.jonespr.net/hubfs/Blog%20Titles%20With%20These%20Numbers%20Get%20the%20Most%20Social%20Media%20Shares.jpg --- [![](https://www.jonespr.net/hubfs/Blog%20Titles%20With%20These%20Numbers%20Get%20the%20Most%20Social%20Media%20Shares.jpg) ](https://www.jonespr.net/eight-arms-blog/blog-titles-with-these-numbers-get-the-most-social-media-shares-) # Blog Titles With These Numbers Get the Most Social Media Shares BY:   [ Kristin Jones ](https://www.jonespr.net/eight-arms-blog/author/kristin-jones) ![Blog Titles With These Numbers Get the Most Social Media Shares](https://www.jonespr.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20Titles%20With%20These%20Numbers%20Get%20the%20Most%20Social%20Media%20Shares.jpg?width=600&name=Blog%20Titles%20With%20These%20Numbers%20Get%20the%20Most%20Social%20Media%20Shares.jpg) In the infographic provided at the end of this post, you’ll find 5 of the best numbers to use in your blog titles. At least, the 5 numbers most likely to earn social media shares. [Venngage](https://venngage.com/blog/blog-titles/) looked at more than 120,000 blog articles to determine which numbers had the most power to inspire readers to share the posts on social media, and this is what they found: The number 10 is one of the best numbers to use in blog titles.  Our own quick check of data largely back this up — though maybe we need to do more “top 10” lists, as “10” actually lagged “5,” “6,” and “3” in a look at which posts were most read (not shared). Included in our 50 most-read posts on the Inbound Accelerator were five each that featured a “5,” “6,” or “3” in the title, along with three posts whose titles included “10.” Check out the top-ranked post for each number: - [3 Ways to Measure Call-to-Action Success](https://www.jonespr.net/inboundaccelerator/3-things-for-measuring-the-success-of-your-ctas) - [Top 10 Ways to Write a Compelling CTA](https://www.jonespr.net/inboundaccelerator/top-10-ways-to-write-a-compelling-cta) - [5 Ways to Improve Your Lead Qualification Process](https://www.jonespr.net/inboundaccelerator/5-ways-to-improve-your-lead-qualification-process) - [6 Places to Find Guest Bloggers & How to Ask Them to Contribute](https://www.jonespr.net/inboundaccelerator/6-places-to-find-guest-bloggers-how-to-ask-them-to-contribute) Would you be more likely to share each one if it listed 10 items instead? Remember that the first “share” for each of your blog posts should actually be your own. Even if your readers aren’t sharing your posts, you should be. It is a basic part of blog promotion, which we cover in more detail here: [Blogging Mistake: Not Promoting Your Blog](https://www.jonespr.net/problem-solution-blog-promotion). Now, for all the numbers, check out this infographic.
