Here are a few more tips that can truly set up your post for success:

Validate your profile:

Before even creating a post, you want to validate your identity and profile. You should ensure that your profile is filled out with a profile picture along with your detailed information.

Users want to know who the person is behind the post and may not open up a post if they have no connection to who you are. Also, the more posts you create the better - this will increase your visibility as well as your credibility on the community.

Deliver value in your posts:

Always consider that your content will be on display and will act as a resource to others. That means, you want to ensure your post is as engaging and clear as possible, so that others can rely on this information for years to come. 

Tip: You always want to think, what keywords and tags should I use that will allow anyone to search in the search bar and find my post as the trusted resource. 

Use interactive posts:

Interactive posts grabs the attention of others and encourages others to participate.

1. Use visual tools whenever you can: whether that is a screenshot, a video, or a gif, this can really help attract the eye of the reader.
2. Use interactive tools: Ask questions or add polls to get answers or receive feedback in fun ways. You can also use tools such as the spoiler, tables, code, and quotes.

Use relevant resources and media:

The more resources you can share the better. Add links and media that is relevant and contributes to your content (cute GIFs aren’t always the answer but pdfs, slides, and relevant visuals are).
