What makes a good post?
There are many aspects to producing a well-written post which speaks to other people on 115.1. Here are some quick pointers to help:
Stick to the community ground rules: Make sure your post aligns with our ground rules which exist to keep 115.1 a safe place.
Keep it short: Try not to write more than two short paragraphs, otherwise you will lose your focus and people reading on phones will struggle.
Use photos: Photos breathe life into a post. If you don’t have any or you don’t want to reveal identities, then use Unsplash instead.
Share videos: Videos are a great way to help people experience your stories of God’s work across the world.
Structure around the post categories: Choose one of the six categories carefully, and then check your story makes clear points against it.
Keep God at the heart: Focus on God and what He is doing rather than on you and your part in the story.
Avoid jargon, acronyms and assumptions: Keep things as clear as possible for people who may live on the other side of the world.
Audience focus: Think about who will read your post. Will they understand and benefit from it? Could you make things clearer for them?
Storytelling: Structuring a post like a story with a clear beginning, middle and end is a great way of ensuring it is crystal clear to those reading it.
Spelling and grammar: Whether English is your first language or not it’s important to re-read your posts to check them through for mistakes or to make improvements.
Call to action: If at all possible finish your post by asking people to do something or follow it up.
