“Boring” Article Idea Tips

“Boring” Article Titles that Bring Prospects & Profits

Evergreen ideas that build your business…

I so love to see the articles and webinars that claim boring article ideas like “how to” and “listicles” are dead.

It reminds me of people who say content creation is dead, while they’re… wait for it…creating content!

So let’s take a look at 3 article ideas pronounced “boring and dead” that still bring in the prospects and profits for you. And always will…

How to: Explain how to something in 3–5 steps. You’ll dramatically increase the response by just adding “How to” to your email subject lines, content titles, and product titles. Not a bad return on investment for just 2 words.

Listicles: “The Top 10 Ways to” * “3 Secrets to” * “The 7 Best…” pull in the traffic because people know they can consume your content in small chunks. Listicles are very easily repurposed, either as a whole or each part.

It reminds me of people who say content creation is dead, while they’re… wait for it…creating content!

3 Mistakes: Want your content consumed? Name 3 mistakes on a niche topic. For each of the 3 mistakes also name what to do instead.

“I know I’m not making any mistakes and I’ll prove it!”

And they’re consuming your content.

Others will think:

“I don’t even know what the mistakes are. I better read this!”

And they’re consuming your content.
