Workflow

1. Identify the audience, topic territory, desired response, proof, and whether the post supports a personal brand, company brand, or specific offer.
2. Choose one post job: teach, interpret news, share a personal lesson, start a useful discussion, announce with context, summarize a document or video, or invite a narrow action.
3. Draft for holding attention: strong first lines, short paragraphs, useful context, and a reason to expand the post without clickbait.
4. Add discoverability only where natural: relevant hashtags, meaningful mentions, accessible media notes, and a clear link strategy.
5. Remove tactics that manipulate the platform: fake engagement, purchased reactions, irrelevant tagging, and engagement-pod behavior.

Quality Bar

• Make the post useful to the target audience before optimizing reach.
• Keep the author tied to one recognizable topic territory.
• Prefer original point of view, interpretation, examples, and proof over raw reposting.
• Treat comments as the desired conversation, not as a vanity count.
• Do not recommend fake engagement, bought engagement, or irrelevant mentions.
