Storify is one of the best ways to collect and share what many are saying all over the world. It's an efficient way to create stories using social media. Here are three tips journalists can use to improve their Storify.
Visuals are key! Nothing adds color to a post like pictures and videos. We all know that many readers have a short attention span, so it's best to include visuals that spark their interest. According to Doug Haddix, "To keep readers engaged, you need to break up a sea of gray tweets with visuals." They can make or break a Storify. Videos and pictures are the main ingredients to make your Storify appetizing.
Don't be afraid to ask for feedback. Every good journalist wants to know how their readers feel about their content. It's also a way for you to improve your Storify and provide what readers want. Asking for feedback can up the viral effect of how well your posts will do in the future. Receiving ideas along with the feedback from previous posts, is a sure way to create fresh content that fascinates your readers.
The way your Storify appears is everything. It has to be pleasing to the eye or readers will not care for it. With mostly everything in life, from restaurants to clothing stores, displays are intriguing. It's what invite people in. You can change the way your Storify is viewed once published. Make sure that you choose one that is best for your content- whether it has pictures or not. One with pictures might be displayed as a slideshow. Take time in choosing this option because it is significant for your readers.
