Article Checklist Template

Your target reader loves checklists because they distill the essence of what someone else (you, the expert) have painstakingly identified as being important for a particular problem.

Example of checklists you could make:

• Wedding Checklist - 12 Things You Must Do Before Your Marriage Begins
• Job Search Checklist Essentials
• Traveling Success List - Your Checklist To Speed Pack Before Business Trips
• 12 Point Checklist When Working With [Insert Your Industry]

Your "Checklist" article template should include:

1. An article title that includes keywords relating to the type of checklist you're creating plus the word "checklist".
2. (1) or (2) paragraph opening that explains what and why the checklist exists.
3. The actual checklist of items.
4. A conclusion that encourages the reader to pay close attention to the benefits of the checklist as you've just described.

Mistakes in this template to avoid: Failing to make your checklist into a checklist. Don't ramble on and on and on without using brackets [ ], bullet points and/or a numbered list. Your checklist should be fast and easy to read including delivering on the promise you made in your article title about a checklist actually being included in your article.

Two Important Article Title Tips:

1. Avoid starting your article title with a conjunction or junk words such as "An" or "A" or "The" and roll right into the keyword relating to your expertise and your checklist.
2. Don't make a 2 or 3 word checklist title! Instead, make sure your checklist article title is at least 5-9 words that further explains the benefit of what's included in your article checklist.

Can you see the possibilities? :)

Now, go write your next original article as a checklist that helps your reader save time while you're positioned as an expert in your niche!
