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 Premium Content
There are no premium content pieces scheduled for today. Go check out the Action Plan Calendar to see when the next one is scheduled to be completed and use today to start prepping for it.
Roundup emails are extremely versatile and are a great way to curate content that is valuable to your audience and leverage email as a channel to get that content in front of your contacts.
The more content you create the more options you have to spread it throughout all your branded marketing channels. Today is an example of that. Leverage your entire library of content created in the past from your Ready Agent Go action plan schedule that is localized to your area and include that in this email blast. In the same way you create roundup blog posts where you grab a title, an excerpt and a link to an article, you will create today's email the same way. However since you were the author of the curated content you get to link your own content not someone else's! Nice work.
