Pro Tips

Gold Medal Article Tips

Want to better your chances of scoring a stylin’ T-shirt or a similarly awesome prize in next year’s Hubbies?

- Write a Compelling Bio: Make it easy for readers to recognize you and your work with a stellar bio (profile pic included). Build trust right away by concisely describing your personal experience, expertise or passion for the subject matter you are writing about.

- 1,000 Is the Magic Number: Aim to make your articles 1,000 words each. It is the perfect length for an in-depth and informative article. But be cautious; never resort to filler text, fluff, personal conjecture or off-topic rambling. Basically, don’t force yourself to write 1,000 words if you said all you could in a tight 800.

- Subtitles Are Your Friend: Using multiple text capsules is fine and dandy, but to keep readers’ attention and enthusiasm, try to break up major points by giving each capsule a descriptive subtitle.
