Byword's list-based article builder lets you come up with ideas and structures for list-based articles, and generate them easily at scale.
To get started, head to the lists page, and enter some titles or keywords that reference a list.
A good example of a list-based input is one that contains a number, for example those in the screenshot above, or:
11 Ways to Cook an Egg
4 Methods for Dealing with Insomnia
8 Best Sports Cars for City Driving
Note that the tool currently only supports generating lists of up to 20 items; if you insert a keyword or title specifying more than 20 items, Byword will modify it to fit the 20 item limit.
Once you have your inputs sorted, hit 'Generate Lists' and Byword will start coming up with some ideas for you.
You can edit the list items that Byword has suggested by hitting the edit button in the top right of each article, or delete that article entirely using the bin icon.
If you're happy with the items that Byword has prepared, you can also give Byword some information about the structure and topics that you want Byword to cover in each list item, using the 'Article Structure' section.
In the example above, we've given three areas that we'd like Byword to focus its writing on for each list item (in our case, city). Byword will try to put these as separate H3s, though this can't be guaranteed and may be affected by the length of your article.
Note that we aren't specifically giving subheadings here, and so we don't have to format the structure items/write them in title case/et cetera. Simply writing 'history' will be enough for Byword to work with.
When you're ready to generate your articles, hit 'Generate Articles' and you'll be taken to a popup where you're asked to confirm your project name.
Enter your project name, hit Generate, and you'll be good to go.
