Day 2 – Write a List Post

Today your task is a writing oriented challenge. It's to write a LIST POST.
Lists
are a powerful style of posting that has been used with great effect
for many years by bloggers. While most of us won't use it for every
post we write it is a very useful post format to practice and have in
your blogging tool belt.

Here's my latest list type post.

I've done them much more structured like shown in the examples on problogger but as this was my latest one, I figured it best to share.

I like posts with directions, Jesse. It makes it easy to follow and be sure you've not missed anything. You could follow up with "8 Reasons to switch banks" and link back to your 8 ways to switch for an easy linkback.

 

Here's my most recent list post: 5 Ways to Save on Diapers.

I'm following the 31 day course, so I just published my list post. I called it 5 Dumb Ideas That Made Millions.  I was trying to make it something that would be interesting and somewhat entertaining for the reader.  Feedback is always appreciated.  Thanks.

Thanks for visiting and replying.  I never thought that my $25K biology and chemistry education would come in handy, but when I taught my mother that Oxiclean one, she nearly fainted. Wink Now, if you want to be extra, extra clean then add some Borax to your wash.

I love list posts. I decided to build a list post of list posts, if you will, and included some of the above examples.

 

50 List Posts from Financial Bloggers

 

Pretty neat to go through everybody's list posts.

Although guilty of producing them myself, I am tiring of seeing so many list posts these days.  Unless they are truly original (which doesn't happen often anymore) I am leaning toward reading articles that read as articles.  Heck, I called my last article: Not Another Top 10 Reasons to Cancel Cable List.  Surprise surprise – the most commented on article on our site, ever.
