Why write and share, and how to find ideas for
your posts in your professional life and in the
news cycle.
SHARE IDEAS
Building your writing muscle, getting
comfortable with imperfection, knowing
your audience and hitting that “Publish”
button.
HAVE A
CONVERSATION
It’s not over when you’ve published!
Building your audience, continuing the
debate and responding to feedback. And
then starting over…

INSPIRATION
YOU ARE UNIQUE
Don’t make the mistake of thinking
everyone knows what you know.
Projects you’ve taken on, problems
you’re trying to solve, failures you’ve
been through, skills you’ve mastered, are
all topics worth writing about.

Media will tell your company’s
story. That’s their job. But you
can also tell your own.

7. HEADLINES
THINK THEM THROUGH
IMAGES
EYE-CATCHING… AND
LEGAL
WORD COUNT
WHATEVER IT TAKES
They’re the most important thing you’ll write.
Make them clear, conversational, clickable but
not clickbait.
SO, HOW DO I WRITE?
Let’s get down to nuts and bolts.
Make your post pop but respect others’
creative work. Remember rich media
too.
Write however long it takes to make your
point. And not a word more. And try to stick to
one point.

IMPERFECTION
WRITE OFTEN, WRITE HUMBLE.
Share personal experiences. Use words
humans would. Don’t write by committee.
NOW, THE HARD STUFF.
You’re a human. Sound like
it.
Edit, rewrite, tighten. Make sure the
reader is still following you and walks
away with your point.
Your post isn’t the final say; you’re just
starting a conversation. Allow commenters to
finish your point.
14. Share your piece on social media, with
colleagues and employees, and journalists
covering your industry. Respond to a few
commenters and keep the conversation
alive.
IT’S NOT OVER
WHEN YOU HIT PUBLISH.
15. Keep an eye on stats.

readers
