Blog Post Checklist

Most blog posts are boring. This simple checklist shows exactly how to take a blah post and make it something readers actually share. It’s like a recipe for “content upgrades” that make your article instantly more valuable.

Why This Works

• Adds angles so readers know why they should care.
• Punchier headlines get more clicks (eyeballs = traffic).
• Helpful extras (calculators, templates, downloads) increase time on page.
• Visual or interactive modules keep attention longer.
• Clear next steps turn readers into action-takers.

Examples

• HubSpot adds templates and cheatsheets, boosting blog conversions.
• NerdWallet uses calculators to keep users engaged.
• Backlinko includes downloadable checklists in most guides.
• BuzzFeed nails clickable headlines that spread fast.
• Ahrefs publishes data breakdowns that rack up backlinks.
