Publishing Tips

Ensure your post has a cover image set to make the most of the home feed and social media platforms.
Share your post on social media platforms or with your co-workers or local communities.
Ask people to leave questions for you in the comments. It's a great way to spark additional discussion describing personally why you wrote it or why people might find it helpful.
