15 Useful Tips

1. Make sure that your pin is in the exact location, as according to your pin description, you can do a cross reference in the Google Maps for a right double checking.

2. Generalized your pin description or else used the correct name and location of your subject, whereas you didn't need the whole post title in the pin description.

3. Make your post title short and concise, but a descriptive one. The audience for Steem Atlas is outside Steem, so try not to include specific information in the title, mentioning your club status, burnsteem25, which this is should not be in the title.

4. Keep the introduction of your post as brief as possible, again, remember the external audience, so extract the unnecessary greetings and thanks.

5. Choose a good strong image as the first image that will become the thumbnail, use a single image wherever possible; composite images made in Canva generally make weaker thumbnails.

6. Be selective on the use of your photographs, use fewer, better, and great photos and make them bigger. Do not repeat near similar image, whereas, don't use any images that are blurred or out of focus.

7. Put meaningful captions under each photograph, use a caption to let the reader knows what each image all about. There is no need to put your attribute on every photo - just include that at the end for all the photos, generally, you should only be using your own photos on Steem Atlas.

8. Work hard to make your post beautiful, good looking and presentable. Use headings, correct punctuation and white space to make the post visually attractive and easy to follow, double checking for spelling and grammatical mistakes is a must, if you have make these mistakes Google Translate will have a problems to translate and the post will have much less value.

9. Include the prices where it is appropriate. Infact, include prices in your local currency and the equivalent in steem or US$.

10. Include official website and social media links where it is appropriate. Links to other sites for the place of your post is about are very useful for extra information.

11. Kindly include the opening times where it is appropriate because this will adds the content more valuable.

12. Include entrance fees if appropriate.
    Again this adds to the content value of the post.

13. Keep the end of your post tidy. Again, remember the external audience, so do not include unnecessary graphics and gifs at the end of your post.

14. Use tags correctly, good tag use helps your post get found. At a basic level you can used, #yourcountry, #yourcity, #typeofplace, #steem-atlas, (eg #philippines #lapu-lapu #school #steem-atlas)

15. Remember the audience. Whereas, Steem Atlas is all about providing information both for other steemians and hopefully soon for the wider world. Post should contains useful, accurate information that is well-presented, easy to read and understand.
