❎ Bad reasons to Post

• Someone told you that you have to write about this


• “For visibility”
  
  
  • What does that mean ?
  
  
  • Is it visible if nobody reads it 🤔


• Need somewhere to remember all your passwords


• To encourage people to buy your product
  
  
  • The post is now an ad
  
  
  • Who would read it on purpose?


• To document how something you made works

✅ Good reasons to Post

• You are the only person in the world with this information, and other people might want to know it (publishing something new)


• Fanfic (any)


• To share how to do something, so other people can learn it 👀


• To tell a story


• Just for fun, to be entertaining


• To announce something your audience will be interested in

You can cut out so much by simply realising “actually, the reader doesn’t care about that.” Simply delete it, and the post loses nothing, so the overall quality goes up. That’s just economics.

Write it like you’re trying to trick the reader into understanding what you mean in as few words as possible

Because you are.
