TECHNIQUES FOR WRITING QUALITY POST
We do not just get up and pick up our computers or phones and start writing posts on the steemit platform and expect the post to be quality. There are steps to writing a quality post, steps such as;
1. Think Of The Topic Or Title: The first thing that attracts a reader to our posts is the title. Therefore our title should be a well-constructive one, that addresses the needs of our readers.
2. Think Of Your Audience Or Reader: People who read from posts on the steemit platform are from all works in life, different backgrounds, and nationalities. Therefore what is of interest to these diverse people should make a quality post, they should learn something new.
3. Do a research
4. Think Of The Subheadings: The subheadings must qualify the topic. Each subheading must qualify the one to follow, they must be relevant, of course, this is the body of the post.
5. The Introduction and Conclusion: The Introduction as the name implies should introduce the topic, and give an overview of the body of the posts in a captivating way, this will convince the readers that they have something to learn from the post. If the introduction is not captivating and interesting, the readers may not have the patience to read our posts.
Conclusion should be a summary of the post, reminding your readers of the things they have read. Make observations and recommendations here.
6. Visual Aids: The pictures must qualify the content of the post and, if possible qualify the subheading to which it is uploaded. Likewise the videos. Most importantly, pictures and videos should be ours, if taken from sites, they should be taken from copyright-free sites. Visual aids should enhance the understanding of our readers and should be entertaining where necessary.
7. Hash Tags: Hashtags should qualify the content of our posts, which means they must be relevant.
8. The Information or our write-up must be original, and free of plagiarism.
Speaking of relevance in point 7, is it really important? Let's see.
RELEVANCE AND CREATIVITY OF A POST
Thousands of bloggers may write about a specific thing, but what makes the difference is the relevance and creativity of a post. They make one post stand out from the others.
When the body of the content of our posts on the steemit platform is relevant to the topic, it catches the attention of the readers, they find the post worth reading. But when there is no relevance, they may not read it to the end.
Creativity is a master of content creation. Each post must contain something new, that's where creativity comes in. We must sit and think of the new information to include in our posts. If it is a picture, can we create it ourselves, if it is a dance, can we dance ourselves? Doing things ourselves makes our posts creative and different, and our readers will find it interesting.
We have learned enough from the two preceding subheadings, I think it is time to ask ourselves; what makes a post quality?
MAKEUP OF A QUALITY POST
The following make a quality post;
Captivating topic or title
Good and well-constructive introduction
Creative and relevant body of content
Relevant visual aids
Original information, free of plagiarism
Use of proper hashtags
A well-summarized conclusion.
The above points make a post a quality one. But you know for our readers to read our posts to the end, we need to maintain their interest, and the only thing that can help us do that is visual elements. So let's get to know about visual Elements.
VISUAL ELEMENTS
These are the things seen with our eyes, things like colors, lines, pictures, videos, etc.
To illustrate; Imagine reading about the cultural dance of a specific nation, then at the end of that subheading, the writer includes a video of that dance performed by him or another person, afterward, he moves to the next subheading that focuses on the cultural dress of that nation, would you not want to read about it perhaps see the picture of the cultural dress in the end? I would want to, and I feel you would.
That's the power of visual elements, our readers would want to learn more from us when we use appropriate visual aids, some may ask questions in the comment section because they want to learn more.
Conclusively, writing a quality post is not hard, but the appropriate procedure must be followed by the writer. A captivating topic or title, a Good and well-constructive introduction, a constructive and relevant body of the post that qualifies the topic, relevant visual aids, original information free of plagiarism, use of proper hashtags, and a well-summarized conclusion make a post quality. Writing a quality post will facilitate the interest of our readers, and they will want to learn more.
