Sample How to write a List Post
Open with a clear, specific list topic.
Include 5–10 items, each with a brief description.
Order items logically — most important first or by category.
End with a call-to-action (bookmark, share, save).
Keep items consistent in length and structure. Mixing one-word items with full sentences makes the list look sloppy.
Specificity sells. '7 free tools' is fine; '7 free tools and what they're for' is better. Add one descriptor per item.
End with a clear CTA: 'Bookmark this', 'Save for later', 'Add yours in the replies'. Lists thrive when readers act on them.
