A listicle is an article built around a numbered list: 5 reasons thousands switched to…. It works because it's easy to scan, and every reason is a small argument for your product.
The structure
- Headline with a number and a promise.
- A short intro: two or three sentences about the problem.
- The reasons, each with an image, a bold one-line claim and a short explanation.
- Proof: reviews or a comparison with the alternative.
- The offer, with a guarantee and a clear button.
Writing good reasons
- Lead with the benefit, not the feature: It lasts two months beats 30 ml bottle.
- Answer an objection with each reason: price, effort, trust, fit.
- Keep the strongest reason first and the guarantee last.
How many reasons?
Three for a quick read and a cheap product, five for most products, seven when the product is more expensive and people need more convincing. FunnelOne has a template for each.
