WRITING TIP
When you are writing for social media, your sentences should be clear,
uncomplicated, and to the point. Readers like to scroll quickly through posts. If they
have to work too hard to follow what you are saying, they may move on to someone
else's post.
Emphasize the positive if you are looking for something like a place to rent
or a pet, for example. People want to be assured that they will have a good
roommate or that they are giving a pet to someone who will take good care of it.
