How can you make a promise or be provocative when writing a technical article?

Great question!

The promise could be as simple as "How to..." — it's not the most exciting recipe, but it works.

Being provocative in this context can be tough, and it's also not always necessary or even ideal given the tone and style you're aiming for.

Think about what kinds of problems your target reader is facing, and try addressing those directly. Consider something like:

Stop Wasting Time on Slow Gatsby Builds and Upgrade to Next.js

Everyone who's had to endure a super slow Gatsby build will be able to relate to this on an emotional level. It's so frustrating!

And you're promising to solve the problem by showing them how to migrate to Next.js.

I hope that helps!
