✅ What are the techniques for writing a quality post?

One thing I learned in life is that in as much as there are things that are not of standard around us, we always want the best. The reason is quality matters a lot because whatever is of high quality serves better.

So it is with the articles we write. There are times we read and appreciate some articles based on their quality. On the other hand, we read some articles and find them boring due to low quality. But we need to understand that everything has a secret and techniques. With that being said, below I will share some tips and techniques for achieving high quality posts.

1. Clear understanding of the topic: it is almost impossible to bring out anything meaningful out of any topic you don't understand. As such, try as much as possible to have a clear understanding of the topic before writing.
2. Gather information about the topic: this is very vital in every aspect of writing a high-quality post. The information you gather is what you will pass across to your readers and the information has to be accurate.
3. Choice of words: this is also important. There are times we read and fail to understand some points due to words used by the writer. Remember to keep it simple.
4. Mood balance: it is almost impossible to write something meaningful when in a bad mood. We need to be happy when writing as it gives us more opportunities to pass our message better.

✅ How important is relevance and creativity in a post?

Creativity in writing is what captures the reader's attention and interest. Imagine reading a post where the writer keeps repeating words unnecessarily. It gets you bored as a reader. But when the article is creative enough, it makes you want to read more and more of it. As you are reading, you want to know what happens next and next again until you are done reading.

I have come across articles that I stopped reading after going through a few lines. It was not because I had little interest in reading but because of the lack of creativity in the articles. They don't capture interest.

✅ What makes a post high quality?

They are things that make a post to be considered high quality. But the basic thing is the information that the post carries. Remember information is power and we always strive hard to get it. One of the reasons we read today is to acquire information that can trigger our feelings and give us knowledge of something.

This is the reason why before you start writing, it's good you ask yourself questions like

• what am I writing about?
• What information do I want to convey to my readers?
• To whom am I writing?

Asking yourself these questions is vital because they keep you focused when writing. In conclusion, the Information that a post carries is the basic thing that makes a post high quality.

✅What are the visual elements for improved reader engagement?

Visual elements are also vital aspects of writing because they are some of the things that the reader interacts with. Below are the visual elements that improve readers' engagement.

1. Markdown: work arrangements are very crucial. The writing has to be well-arranged by using markdowns like center, bolding the headings, and allaying the write-up.
2. Good and clear images: images compliment the write-up and it helps in capturing the mind of the reader. It also helps in passing more information to the reader about what you are talking about.
3. Title or heading: the first thing that draws and captures the interest of a reader is the title. There is a high chance of many people reading an article that carries a mind-capturing heading.

I now call on @josepha, @yakspeace and @dave-hanny to participate.
