Lists posts are similar to roundup posts in that you are breaking up an entire blog post article into bite-sized snippets. List posts are one of the most common styles of article content on the web. You probably encounter these all the time - "Top ten ___fill in the blank___ of 2020, etc.
List posts are a great way to build an article without having to write out long form content about a topic. Just simply create an introduction, craft a list of items related to today's post idea, be sure to include a title and quick snippet on each list item, then end with a conclusion.
List post titles generally have the highest click through rates of any of the other Ready Agent Go blog post templates when shared in a feed.

Bonus To-do's after you create your blog:
After you're finished creating your blog post make sure you promote it! Here are a few simple suggestions:
Create a social post using the featured image of your blog post and the title.
Right after posting your blog post be sure to send out an email blast using the featured image of your article and a quick excerpt from the introduction. Link to your blog post to drive traffic to this published article on your website. If you don't have a website, or place to publish your content, consider getting a Ready Agent Go website and have all this done for you.
Over the following 1-2 weeks create at least one social post for each list item in your post and share it across social media. When you share it make sure to link back to your article.

Today's Marketing Question
Question:
What are some common content marketing mistakes?
Answer:
The most common content marketing mistake is to fall back into the old habits of traditional marketing. Writing blog posts that are overly salesy, or that promote the company and its products excessively, is a big no-no. Content should be valuable to consumers, and sales pitches are not only not valuable – they’re off-putting. There’s a time and a place for sales, and it’s not in your content.
Ebooks are a common type of content that many marketers use, often to help generate leads. They are generally a more long-form content type than, say, blog posts, and go into in-depth detail on a subject.
