Writing Good Content

• Usefulness and uniqueness:
  contribute to the dialogue with your own ideas, make it current, useful, unique and relevant to our group.
  
  
• Original content and be brief:
  It's about both writing your own and fair use of other people's content (always giving credit for it).
  
  
• Start with good headlines:
  Sometimes it's the only thing your audience will see before making a decision about whether to read the post.
  
  
• Make the post scannable:
  Your reader should be able to quickly glance through the post and pick up the main points without reading too deeply.
  
  
• Write in a plain, concise, common-sense style:
  The key is simplicity, even on a complex topic.

Our discussions are all around the topics that you are the content experts at, so relate to your own experience and be open to different opinions.
