10 Things You Should Do Every Time You Post
Every. Single. Time. Follow this formula, my little darlings, and your every post shall be gold. GOLD!
-
1. Ask yourself: Would I share this? Is it legitimately interesting or am I just desperate to post something?
The social aspect is key to everything we do.
-
2. Search for it. Make sure it hasn't already been posted.
Burnred is watching you.
-
3. First sentence bold. Always.
Looks nice.
-
4. Make the title concise, clicky, searchable.
-
5. Don't say "we."
-
6. Add tags to it.
Think like a Googler.
-
7. Copy-edit it.
'90s, "Title", All Uppercase Letters.
-
8. Mark it as tame or NSFW.
If it's PG-13 or "worse," mark it as NSFW.
-
9. Give credit.
From=where you found it. Source=who made it, where it came from (if you can find out).
-
10. Optimize it.
Add more tags, boost if appropriate, check back to see where traffic is coming from, ping social media editor to promote.
-
11. Don't submit link buzz.
