Helpful tips / guide

You undoubtedly want your contribution to have the greatest possible impact. Your success is important to us as well.

Based on our many years of experience, in addition to the basic rules mentioned above, the following guidelines and tips have proven particularly effective:

Snappy headline

A compelling title phrase should capture attention and spark curiosity. This is a crucial foundation for getting your article clicked on and read.

Here you will find tried and tested ideas and suggestions:

Introduction

Begin the article with a concluding introduction.

Two to three sentences as an introduction help the reader to quickly grasp what it's about.

writing style

Write about your topic in your own personal, individual style. Avoid using advertising or PR language.

Content should also be neither too technocratic nor dominated by bureaucratic language.

Write according to the KISS principle: Keep it simple and stupid!

structuring

A well-thought-out and clear structure helps the reader to better consume long texts.

Use structuring elements such as subheadings (H2-H5), paragraphs, bullet points, quotation marks, highlights, quotations, etc.

Break long passages down into small, easily digestible chunks.

Focus on the reader

Always keep the reader in mind and put yourself in their shoes. The goal is to create added value for them.

Ask yourself the following questions:

  • Is the content easy to understand?
  • Is the article informative, helpful, entertaining, exciting, controversial, funny, or does it answer an important question?

Images & Media

The internet is a visual medium. Images, graphics, and videos underline its statements, convey content in an appealing way, and liven up texts.

Use these media if possible. However, they must be freely available for use or you must possess the corresponding usage rights.

Please clarify the usage rights beforehand.

Sources & Evidence

When you cite figures or facts, assert facts, and put forward theses, substantiate them as best as possible with sources, ideally with links.

Author's Box

At the end of the text, your author box appears with your image, profile text and your (social) links.

Providing complete information builds trust with your readers. It also makes it easier for interested parties to contact you.

A nice profile picture can work wonders. In the anonymous internet, a smiling face often has a great impact.
