1. Reasons you need to create lists in your posts

Part of what you've learned so far in your school days is that you were not allowed to use the bullet points while writing your articles, narrative essays or story. But when you're to write for the generality of people, or for the audience on a blog or website, using the bullet points would be more productive.

For instance, see the examples below to see the difference between these two writing styles.

Example 1

The major components of a well-written article are the headline, which gives the readers the basic concept about the article; the introduction, which gives a quick overview of what the article is going to say; the main body, which contains the details of the article; and the conclusion, which marks the end of the article.

Example 2

The major components of a well-written article are:

• The headline, which gives the readers the basic concept about the article
• The introduction, which gives a quick overview of what the article is going to say
• The main body, which contains the details of the article
• The conclusion, which marks the end of the article.
  

It's seen practically that the statements in the two examples are similar, but the tags in the latter example were much easier to read than that in the former as the four ideas that started the bullet points were easier to grab.

And aside from that, you get some white space when you make lists in posts. It increases the readability and will definitely lead to conveying much more information than the other version.
