Tips and examples to posting the good post based on something you've found on a different site.

Getting started

Someone asked me how to write about other people's articles without paraphrasing them (read my cryptovoucher.io review) so I've compiled these guidelines.

Go through everything! There's no point if you don't visit all of the links below while reading.

Comparison

Check out @ankit14192's post here. The source of the news is here. You can see the same story in both places, although slightly different.

Then we have this:

All of you must know Alibaba, the online store, right? The company behind it is filthy rich. But someone just surpassed them! Mukesh Ambani's company, Reliance Industries Ltd, is now the e-commerce top dog. That's all thanks to his telecom upstart getting involved into ad offers.

Walmart and Amazon are probably worried, because this rival's innovations are creating market opportunities. Read all about it on Bloomberg.

This is clearly someone else doing the talking - me - presenting a personal perspective. It makes the article unique. What makes it commercially acceptable are my personal comments, legally considered Fair Use.

The formula

Ideally, you'd at least go for the basic 4-paragraphs / 4-liners model:

1. Introduction - 3~4 lines -> Let everyone know what you're going to talk about and why they should care.
2. Perspective - 4~5 lines -> Start taking your introduction somewhere.
3. Point Explanation - 3~5 lines -> The really interesting stuff.
4. Conclusion - 2~3 lines -> It's why you've brought it up in the first place. Avoid asking questions.

Visual learners

You can see it all here in practice in this old post of mine. Take your time. Compare it with the instructions above: Ancient history misteries: Imhotep, the man who invented pyramids

Practice, practice, practice

Did your content not come out as perfect as you wish? It's okay, post it anyway then get better with experience.
