Do you want to know how to earn money online?
Articles that make a list of things that people like to read or know.
“Listicles” is an amalgamation of “articles” and “lists” to get “listicles”, you know?
ready!
For example:
1. Top 10 Vacation Spots on Earth.
2. 3 things you should never do on a date
3. 10 foods that stop the aging process
4. The ten best-selling toys of all time
5. 7 ways to make new friends in 30 days or less
6. 3 ways to drive her crazy
7. 5 ingenious ways to make money online
8. The 10 best actors of all time
9. 50 ways to generate traffic to your website
For each article that lists certain things, you should list those things the headline talks about, and then explain each one in turn.
That is the essence of a “list”.
People love to read about lists.
Anything on a list.
“The Top Ten” format is always a good way to start an article. Could be top ten anything. You can write about the top ten this, or the top ten that, or the top ten whatever.
You can write about the “7 Best Ways” to start an online business from home, and then build on those seven different ways to make money online from home.
You can write about the top ten recipes your grandmother left you and how you enjoy cooking them. Each would need to be briefly but understandably summarized in the body of the article so that the reader’s attention can be captured and held.
What you write is irrelevant.
But if you write articles about lists, about anything that can be put on a list like the one above, you can get your readers’ attention because we all love lists.
There is something curious in an article that has any number in its subject that talks about the top ten of this or the best seven of that or the three things you should never do in such and such a case.
We want to read articles like that.
“Lists”.
We have come to love them as we see more of them.
Use this strategy the next time you write an article for your business.
You don’t use articles in your marketing efforts, you say? Well you should. Listings are now on the fast track to becoming a popular method of driving traffic to any website. Any online business can benefit from listings. If you don’t use them, you are depriving your website of what it needs to make money. In fact, you are at a disadvantage.
Listings are being used by the most successful online marketers to drive traffic, as well as affiliate marketers who rely on new traffic to generate and grow their commission checks.
