I believe everything published was actually very reasonable.
However, think on this, what if you were to write a
killer post title? I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your website, but what if you added a headline that grabbed folk’s attention?
I mean Haj-2023: Emotional scenes witnessed at Hajj house as
1st batch of 630 pilgrims leaves for Jeddah – JK News Live is a little plain.
You could glance at Yahoo’s home page and note how
they create news titles to get viewers interested. You might add
a related video or a picture or two to get people excited about what you’ve got to
say. Just my opinion, it would bring your posts a little livelier.
