Top 10 Ways To Market Your Business With Top 10 Listings

Basic top 10 lists can go a long way in marketing your business online, simply because they have ideas that your market is looking for. When you share the main ideas, especially when you’re part of the list, it shows up in searches for other parts of the list. You are ON the list, therefore they find you too.

When I first started building my business, there was this guy who did nothing but write top 10 lists of whatever he could think of. His lists directed people to their top ten favorites of everything he wrote, and usually those were the specific things he was interested in. I may never forget my favorite from his lists. He had one called the Top 10 Hot Dog Stands in Denver. I remember driving home from a meeting one afternoon, hungry, tired, frustrated that the meeting didn’t go particularly well, and there it was hanging over the sidewalk, a sign that said, “Custer’s Hot Dogs.” I had never been to the place, but I love hot dogs, so I had read the article. I remembered that Custer’s was number 3 on his list, so I pulled over and parked.

That was the best hot dog I can remember having. I went back to my computer, looked up your website, and started looking up the other hot dog stands you recommended. WOW! Those were some amazing Hot Dogs. And I’ve been back to several of those hot dog stands since, even though their website was completely gone for almost five years. If I’m in the neighborhood, I still stop at those hot dog stands. That’s good marketing!

If you’re looking for a great way to market your business, I say “Top 10 Lists” are the WAY to go.
