The list post is the second most used content format by bloggers. It is simple to create and easy to read, which is good for both bloggers and their readers. The problem is that for most list post topics, because of the mass adoption by bloggers, there is also plenty of competition. This makes it vitally important that you use the list post SEO tactics that are proven to work.

In this episode, I am going to teach you how I have been able to find quality writers on Fiverr for a fraction of the cost that most pro bloggers pay for content. Not every blogger needs to have a staff of writers, but it is always good to have at least one writer on call. The reason for this is that there are going to be occasional life events that prevent you from being able to write for weeks or months at a time. On those occasions, having a writer to help do the research along with the first draft will be a lifesaver.

One of the greatest books of all-time was written almost a century ago by Dale Carnegie. That book, How to Win Friends and Influence People, was recently ranked #19 out of Time Magazine’s list of the most influential book in history. As a blogger, you need to know the core principles of the book. At the end of the day, a friend is more valuable to a blogger than a visitor.

A common mistake that bloggers make is trying to sound like they have a 3 Phds. Even if you are able to pull this off at a high level, then you are still going to fail. The reason for this is because less than 5% of adults in the United States read at a college grade level. That means you would be alienating 95% of the visitors that come to your blog. The best practice is to write at an 8th grade level or below, which is the reading level where 50% of US adults fall into.

This is the final part of a five part series where I answer some of the biggest questions about SEO.
