Writing for UpLead:
Things to Consider

1. Always add value with your content

Generic, fluffy posts are a big no-no. Make sure your content is robust and substantial by citing relevant statistics and case studies, and sharing actionable tips. If possible, walk your readers through exactly how to achieve what they’re hoping to do, using screenshots to illustrate.

2. Distinguish between facts and opinion

If your statement or assertion can’t be backed up by research or statistics, then it doesn’t deserve a place in your post.

3. Engage your audience

Want your readers to stay with you till the end of your post? Then make sure you adopt a casual, conversational tone to engage your audience. You can also use GIFs and cultural references to connect with your audience.

4. Don't be overly self-promotional

If you’re plugging yourself or your company every other paragraph, this leads them to put their guard up, and makes it hard for them to trust what you’re saying.
