People love listicles. You’ve certainly read a few yourself—and more likely, you’ve read dozens. In fact, you’re reading one now.
What’s a listicle?
- It’s like a combination of a list and an article. People love “Top-10” style lists (Just ask David Letterman!).
- They were made popular from pop culture sites like Buzzfeed.com, and have since been adopted by most well known publications.
- They are a great way to get your message across
- They make it really easy for readers to digest information about a topic.
- They have a flexible format. You can keep it simple with a title and bullet points, or you can use a listicle as a framework for explaining more complicated topics.
If you’re planning to share content in a listicle, keep these six tips in mind:
- Keep the tone light and casual
- Use bullet points instead of numbers (unless the order or rank is important)
- Link to some of your existing content
- Simplify complex concepts to less than 10 words
- Include a brief introduction and conclusion
- Have fun with it!
