31D2BBC – Day 2 – Write and Publish a List Post

31D2BBC = 31 Days to a Better Blog Challenge. I explain the challenge in my post, “31 Days to Build a Better Blog from ProBlogger.” The second day of the podcast challenge is “Write and Publish a List Post.”

Technically, I can put a check in this box. I’ve created a few list posts since starting this blog. I have a few ideas for future posts. The posts I’ve created so far are listed below. (My first sneeze page!):

1. My Blogging History
2. You Need Tools to Blog
3. The Entrepreneur’s Bucket List (American Express Open Forum)
4. Annual Checklist for Nonprofit Board Members
5. 31 Days to Build a Better Blog from ProBlogger
6. Do You Know Your VP’s?
7. Ask Yourself, How Much Time, Money and Energy?
8. Are You Guilty of “Wishful” Recycling?

The catch is, I have not followed all the suggestions for a list post. That’s my challenge! The podcast episode is 21 minutes of tips, ideas, and wisdom. Listen to the episode to get the complete picture. The core tips I want to apply are:

1. Create list posts using all 3 of the different styles
2. Create list posts that serve as “sneeze” pages for my blog
3. Use images as much as possible
4. Use bullet points or sub-headings to help break up the formatting of longer posts.

I will keep this in mind with future list posts. Especially using more images in posts.

Thanks for reading CAPM and More!
