Tip Sheet



Assuming that TipDrop tips are read in a linear fashion on a tip sheet. All tips need to stand independently as they may be sorted into any order, so comments like 'I agree with X' should be avoided.

Placing joke tips or spam tips. These have very little and will soon be filtered out.

Placing tips in a category which is not the most suitable. Tips will more likely be seen and valued when placed in the most appropriate category.

Adding a number to your Tip Sheet title, e.g. "20 tips for ...". There is no way of knowing how many tips will be added by other users. This could be more or less than 20.

Using a post to explain more details about what is meant by the title of a tip sheet. Titles should stand alone, otherwise the topic may be too complex for a single tip sheet. The description may be deprecated to the bottom of the tip sheet.

Trying to include too much within a single tip. For instance, giving three different tips in one, when they could all be listed independently, elaborated on, and voted for independently.

Not reviewing and editing tips before you post them. Read over your tip before you click the "Add My Tip" button. Especially look for spelling errors. People won't find tips with misspelled keywords. Also try reading your tip aloud to catch mistakes.

Adding only one tip to a tip sheet. You may not have time to write more than one tip now...but try to get back to writing more. Your Tip Sheet will be more useful and people will stay on it longer, improving the chance of organic ad clicks.
