Turn a passing reader into a regular.

A good article answers a question or offers a point of view. A good publishing experience also makes it easy to find the next useful thing.

Give the story a clear shape.

Use a meaningful title, a helpful excerpt and an image that belongs with the subject. Break longer articles into sections. Publish when the story is ready, or schedule it for a time that suits your plans.

Connect the ideas.

Use categories for the main subjects you write about and tags for more specific connections. Keep the language familiar to your readers. The aim is a collection people can explore.

Invite people back.

Place a newsletter signup where it feels relevant, including alongside an article. Tell readers what they can expect. GlowKit captures subscriber records and their signup source; the sending setup is a separate part of planning your newsletter.
