Shortcut your way to a great blog post
Looking for blog post tips? About to write that staple blog post “10 tips for…“?
Struggling for a tenth? Or a ninth… or a second? No problem!
Face it, your readers don’t have time for ten of anything. In fact if you’re honest with yourself only one of your ‘tips’ is actually any good, right? So cut the fat.
Some suggested titles:
- “One essential tip you need to…”
- “One step to a better…”
- “Top one reasons why you should…”
- “One person to follow on Twitter…”
- “One reason why…”
- “The One Point Plan to…”
- “One overused thing…”
- “One thing to stop doing now…”
Go forth, blogging super-stardom awaits. Thank me later.
(Thanks @lolmorrisson and @sporticia!)

Great idea! When readin 10 reasons for this or that, I always wondered how to keep all that information in mind. The ‘one point post’ is a good way to drip feed – love it!
