The list

We all love lists. "Top 7 guitarists". "Best 11 beers right now". Take the format and rework it for your topic — products, places, recipes, films, anything.

There's something compelling about content that promises knowledge — "the top 7 guitarists of all time", "the best 11 beers in the world right now". Lists work because the listener knows exactly what they're going to get.
