Creating engaging posts
Be transparent — If you’re sharing your own experiences, it helps to share as much detail as possible to make it relatable. Success stories are great, but so is sharing something that didn’t work for you
Make questions clear and concise — Make sure your post is clear, with a concise title, and include a summary of what goals you’re trying to achieve, what advice you’re seeking, or what issues you’re trying to overcome.
Be open minded — There’s no right or wrong answer when it comes to marketing and promotion. What works for one publisher might not work for another. This is an open space where everyone is encouraged to share their own ideas and experiences freely without judgement.
