Attention-grabbing title with long-tail keyword you’re trying to rank for

Sample title ideas

  • # Things you Need to Know About ______(Problem)
  • # Every _____ Should Know About
  • # Simple Steps when _____
  • # Must Haves for ______
  • # Mistakes ______ Make and How to Avoid Them

This is an outline of how you can structure a list post. You do not need to follow this exactly if you do not wish

Please replace your text with mine

Make sure you change the permalink (URL slug) and change all the text before you hit publish

Remember people scan blog posts they don’t read them word for word. So keep your paragraphs to 2-3 sentences each and use H2 and H3 headers. I have included them throughout this post so all you have to do is switch out my text for yours.

If you are using affiliate links anywhere in your post you need to include a statement at the very beginning saying something like

This post contains affiliate links.  Please see my disclosure page for more info (Replace my link with yours)

[Replace my text here] Put opening paragraph here (2-3 sentences max) – Start by stating the problem/worry that your reader is dealing with. Explain briefly how you can relate and what you will be covering in this blog post. Make sure your long-tail keyword is in the first sentence if possible.

Why (problem) occurs

  • This will be an H2 header
  • It helps your SEO if you include the long-tail keyword you are trying to rank for in some of your headings

[Replace my text here] A paragraph or two (Each no more than a few sentences) about why this problem occurs. Relate to your reader. Why is this an issue they should care about? Telling a brief story that conveys how you/your client, etc overcame their struggles with this and the transformation that occurred is helpful if possible.

You can also add anything else here that they need to know before getting to the numbered list. If you have too many paragraphs, break it up with another H2 heading.
