At Coil, we want to support all types of creators across the Web. The following best practices are intended to serve as a foundational guide for showcasing your best work.
• Craft a clear and compelling headline for your article.
• Unleash your creativity. Be original rather than simply aggregating the work of others. Do not plagiarize.
• Review your work before publishing to clean up typos and ensure the formatting is pleasing to the eye.
• Include a header image. If you use imagery with the permission of another creator, be sure to credit them in your post. Unsplash is an excellent and free source for imagery. Be sure that your images and videos don’t violate any copyrights.
• Avoid CTA’s (call to actions) or asking directly for upvotes.
• Don’t write a post for the sole purpose of selling or promoting a product or service.
• Make sure your content doesn’t infringe on our Terms of Service. For example, copyright infringement, gambling and pornography are not permitted on Coil.
We can’t wait to see your best work!
