Blog Post Template — Listicle Format

The most shareable blog format: numbered lists that deliver value.

📋 Template
TITLE: [Number] [Adjective] [Topic] [Outcome/Qualifier]
Examples: '9 Free AI Tools That Actually Work in 2026'

INTRO (100 words):
[Hook — surprising stat, bold claim, or relatable frustration]
[Context — why this topic matters NOW]
[Promise — what the reader will get from this post]

ITEM 1: [Name/Title]
[Why it's on the list — 2-3 sentences]
[Key feature or benefit]
[Pro tip or insider knowledge]
[Screenshot or example if applicable]

[Repeat for all items]

BONUS: [Extra item — overdelivering builds trust]

CONCLUSION (50 words):
[Quick summary]
[Clear next step / CTA]
[Related post link]

💡 Pro Tip

Odd numbers in titles (7, 9, 11) outperform even numbers. Put your best items at positions 1, 2, and last. Include at least one surprising or lesser-known item — that's what makes people share. Use H2 for each item for SEO.
