# The Timeline Article Template

Do you remember the good old days,

In many ways, they weren’t so good at all. In fact, a lot of things are easier today, and it’s good to bring this into relief.

Or you can use your knowledge about the past to learn something new about your niche today.

You can choose one particular event in the past or the whole timeline to write about in your article.

When you write this kind of articles, you’ll portray yourself as an expert in your area, since you’ll learn a lot that your competitors don’t know. And knowing about the history of your niche, will help you evolve.

This is how to use the Timeline Article Template:

1: Pick your topic.

2: Come up with an attracting headline. Try to make a hint of what the reader can learn from your article, if anything, or just create curiosity.

Examples:

“What Today’s Hairdressers Can Learn from Marie Antoinette’s Hairstyle”

“The Household Appliance Timeline – From Horse-Drawn Vacuum Cleaner to iRobot”

3: Write an introduction to your article.

4: If you remember some of the earlier stages in your niche, it’s a good idea to tell your own personal story. For example: “When I was 13, I got the opportunity to work in a data center. The computers were huge and filled up a wall. You had to give them written orders like “XQMY” to perform the tasks. And a lady would tap in data and create a long strip of paper filled with holes in different positions.”

5: Go as long back in time as you planned, and list the events you wanted to share with your reader.

6: Tell him what was good and bad about that time, and what he might learn from it today.

7: Summon up your article in the conclusion, and lead into your resource box, if you’re writing for article syndication, traffic or back links.
