Notes

The myth-busting template dispels widely facts believed to be true but are actually more nuanced. These are more likely to generate backlinks and social media shares. When you dispel common myths, you drum up controversy. Controversy pushes people that agree and disagree with you to share your content.

The Title can either:

• Focus on a single myth and speak to the X other related myths
• Highlight X number of myths

Examples:

• 10 myths about medical billing. The truth about health insurance.
• The ‘quantity is better than quality’ myth and 7 other digital marketing myths debunked
• 5 common things everyone misunderstands about people managers

The Intro should grab your reader's attention and immediately debunk a myth. 

The rest of the body of your article should focus on highlighting each myth, shedding light on how it came to be commonly believed, and finally explaining the truth behind it. Keep your paragraphs brief. 

The Conclusion can be a recap of the most shocking myth, with a sentence about how the reader has learned the truth behind it. You can end the post by having a clear call to action to check out your website, buy your product or service.
