  • Needs a title (with or without number accordingly).
  • No introduction (title should cover that).
  • It will have a sentence saying something like “This is a Guest List from X from Y Blog (let me know the name format and link you want).
  • Should be a bulleted or numbered lists.
  • Each point on the list should be one sentence max or less (if a point needs a tiny explanation put it in brackets like this).
  • Number of points up-to-you.
  • List topic can be anything really but obviously should come broadly under one of the main categories of the blog if possible.
  • Can have one sentence question after list to encourage comments.
  • I might choose consult with you about any modifications to the list.
  • If there is a particular date you want the post to appear let me know and I’ll see if I can accommodate.
  • Any questions just ask.

Why Lists?

  • I noticed that the most populate blog posts are often list posts.
  • I’ll be honest I usually read only the headline bits in list posts as you get the ‘gist from the list’.
  • As a blogger without a natural ability to churn out paragraphs of exception proses, lists make it easy for me. Easy is good.
  • Everyone feels comfortable with lists.
  • People are time poor and knowledge hungry. Lists work well in this situation.
  • I, the blogger, like lists (I keep lots of them).
  • I tend to think in lists.
  • Lists are productive and geeky.
  • People tend to naturally read all of a list (see you are still reading this list aren’t you), whereas not everything in a paragraph.

What do you think?
