# The Year in Review Article Template

Actually, it’s a great idea to keep a diary or journal to keep track of everything that happens.

You can use such a journal to improve your business; to improve your writing; and to have a source for at least one yearly “Year in Review” article.

A Year in Review article will please your readers, especially if they don’t keep a journal themselves, because they will have forgotten which important events that took place that year.

This is how to use the Year in Review Article Template:

1: Pick your topic. This will typically be the niche you’re working in.

2: Come up with a headline, and include the words “Year in Review” and your niche (keyword).

3: Write an introduction to your article. Tell your readers why they can gain an advantage by reading your year in review article.

4: List the main events or discoveries that happened within your niche that year. It can be commonly known events and personal events that your readers can learn from.

Examples:

Google came out with their Panda update. (Public event.)

My main website got hacked. (Personal event.)

5: Elaborate on what you learned from those events or discoveries, or how you turned bad issues into good issues, or how you recovered from blows.

6: Summon up your article in the conclusion, and give your readers something to look forward to in the next year.

7: Lead into your resource box, if you’re writing for article syndication, traffic or back links.
