When creating a Storify, you want to make sure that it flows and tells the story as best as you can. Here are five major things you should not forget when making your Storify.
- Remember that you are telling a story. Your readers need to have some kind of background on the topic you're speaking on, especially if your Storify is their main source. You are telling a story and there needs to be a narrative. Make sure that readers understand the story you are telling.
- Get everyone's point of view. if you're telling a story about a public event, be sure to include tweets and posts from people there and not just your own thoughts. This way, your story is credible and does not seem biased.
- Get to the point! When creating your story, less is always more. We all know that many readers have short attention spans in this day and age, so it is best to keep your Storify short. If you have to tell a long story, keep in interesting and your readers won't mind.
- Include different types of media. Pictures and videos add visual appeal to your Storify and engages your audience as well. Try including links to articles or YouTube videos.
- Look into your sources. You should investigate sources before you publish your story to make sure they connect with your content. You do not want to have tweets that have nothing to do with your story included and cause a misunderstanding. Take some time to research your sources.
