The title of this listicle promises twelve items. However, readers usually see only five. Breaking this promise before the sixth item shows the rest of the list was unimportant. This last item proves to the readers that effort drops significantly after the first five items.
Making a list is like doing research and writing combined. With the lists that we make, we decide the criteria before anything is listed to determine what merits a space and then we include what we believe fits the criteria.
Selection is the product. It is easy to generate twelve headings and provide a paragraph for each. The copywriting skill is knowing what twelve headings to generate in what order and why selection of the third heading supersedes selection of the seventh. That level of experience is earned through the review of forty candidates and the dismissal of twenty-eight of them. That is research, not writing.
Generated lists pad. If someone responds to a request for fifteen entries with eight, there is no incentive for a model to push back, meaning entries nine through fifteen will likely be near duplicates, products that no longer exist, or things that shouldn’t be in the category in the first place. Readers will notice at the point that the list stops being useful.
First, a longlist is created that is approximately three times larger than the final target. Based on your criteria, cutdowns will begin. The products that are left are verified. This process includes confirmation that the product still exists, confirmation that the price is current, that the link works, and that the statement made in the product description is correct. After the verification process, writing begins.
Send the topic, the number you want, and any entries you want included or excluded. We will send back the criteria we’ll be using to write. This is the part you’ll want to argue about the most. An account is not needed and the order form takes about two minutes.
One rate, whatever the format: $10 per 100 words. You are paying for the writer’s time and judgement, so the price scales with the words rather than with a package tier.
| Typical listicle | Words | Writing | Fee (1%) | You pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Short list (7 entries) | 900 | $90 | $0.90 | $90.90 |
| Standard list (15 entries) | 1,600 | $160 | $1.60 | $161.60 |
| Big list (30 entries) | 3,000 | $300 | $3 | $303 |
The writer receives 100% of the writing price. Our 1% fee is added on top of it, and 0.5% is donated to tree planting. Full pricing breakdown.
Yes — 2 rounds are included, for 14 days after delivery, handled by the writer who wrote the piece rather than by someone new to the brief.
Fill in the order form with your brief and email address. No account needed. You get a confirmation by email, then the finished piece as a document within 3 days.
Yes, usually considerably less. The writer checks every existing entry; removes what died; adds what appeared; rewrites entries that have changed; and makes the required updates on that basis. You pay for those particular words we changed, rather than the entire writing.
If you provide a link, we place it as you request and mark it as your disclosure policy states. We do not allow commissions to influence the order of the list. If the only reason a specific product deserves placement on the list is the payout, we inform you of this and choose to not list it.

Reviews from completed, paid orders in this category.
A proper roundup is hard to do, and easy to fake, and this one didn’t. Each one explains where the pricing was verified and when it was checked. Two entries had notes stating that the writer could not verify some vendor’s claims. That is why we accepted it.
I expect an outline to be long and complex, and I’ll eliminate about a third of the text. I cut two full paragraphs. I appreciate a clear and concise outline. Each image/subheading has its purpose/context. I also appreciate that the FAQ provides answers to actual frequently asked questions, rather than the answers that might fit a certain keyword.
The quality I had no problems with. The timing was way off. I thought a 900 word how-to would show up in a day, and I had to use up the whole three days. My bad for not checking the delivery terms. There was one measurement that had to be fixed, and that one came back in a couple of hours.
We do not ask you to take the no-AI promise on trust. Each draft is run through these platforms and the reports are attached to your delivery email.
