Good দিন Fanpoppers, I hope everyone's doing well! :)
So for once, just for the heck of it, I figured I'd give some উপদেশ to others on how I make ফ্যানপপ articles.
I know this idea probably isn't 100% original, and that it's common sense to type stuff up, but here's some neat little things I've found helps over the years লেখা content on Fanpop.
Welcome to one of my very few serious articles, don't get used to it. ;D
Pro Tip #1: Grammar
Seriously, this is basic stuff, but it needs to be said. It's fine if your English/Spanish/Whatever isn't the best, but for the প্রণয় of all that is holy, if আপনি know how to type well, then prove it!
Not only is it far easier to read, but it looks professional and will get আপনি far in the long run. Capitalize the beginning of your sentences, end sentences with periods, that kind of easy stuff.
Pro Tip #2: Ideas
If আপনি come up with a neat idea for an article, go for it! ফ্যানপপ loves it when people make original content, অথবা at least something new and amusing. Hell, content in general is appreciated, so don't be embarrassed to প্রদর্শনী the world what you're capable of!
Pro Tip #3: Thumbnails/Images In General
I'm so surprised that nobody else does this. Usually, when I make an article, I make a fun little attractive image to better convey the meaning of my article. Think of it like a YouTube thumbnail, it's easy and you'd be surprised how many extra people will click on your প্রবন্ধ just দ্বারা adding a neat little শীর্ষ Image! Even if it makes no sense, just let your imagination cut Footloose and go for it!
And প্রতিমূর্তি in general are also much appreciated. Again, it looks professional and better gets the point across to your audience.
I'm going to assume আপনি know how to add images, as there's literally a guide to the right of আপনি during প্রবন্ধ creation that explains it all.
But I will give a little tutorial for those who want to try out my thumbnail strategy, so here we go!
First off, আপনি want a background photo. Just খুঁজুন for প্রতিমূর্তি in গুগুল and try to find some neat stuff, then download the image. This image is my পছন্দ because আপনি can easily সম্পাদনা it, it's attractive, and is very simple and easy to look at.
Now that আপনি have a background, download some প্রতিমূর্তি of characters অথবা things আপনি like that can convey what your প্রবন্ধ is about. For example, if I'm mad, I'd want to go to গুগুল and খুঁজুন "Mad Face" অথবা something. Take your time searching as well, because there's a LOT of funny and cool stuff out there.
Once you're done with that, you'll need an image editor. দ্বারা far my পছন্দ one to use is Pixlr.com (particularly the Express option) not only because it's free, but আপনি can do so much with it. So really go nuts while editing!
Then just download the image, উঠিয়ে রাখুন it to your Fanpop, and voila! An attractive thumbnail-esque image to প্রদর্শনী your readers that আপনি put effort and fun into your article.
Sorry this section went on for so long, it's just weird to me how few people actually do this. Then again, this is just me, so yeah.
Pro Tip #4: Be Yourself
This is a BIG one. Sure, it may be common knowledge, but আপনি should never try to be someone you're not. You're YOU, you're creative, and nobody can change who আপনি are unless আপনি let them. প্রদর্শনী personality in your articles, whether it be critical, humorous, expressive, passionate, anything goes and works!
Pro Tip #5: Ask Others If They Enjoyed At The End Of Your Article
People are bound to give their opinions on your প্রবন্ধ anyways, but this helps nonetheless, and is KEY for improving your প্রবন্ধ content.
What did আপনি do correct, what could've been better, support and উপদেশ from অনুরাগী is always welcome, and a viable option for improvement.
Also, some people tend to think that criticism is bad, and it's absolutely not! Constructive criticism is MUCH different than the kind of criticism we're used to seeing in YouTube comments.
For example.....
Good: "This প্রবন্ধ was alright, but your grammar and general off-topic tendencies hindered it. Still though, loved how expressive আপনি were, and I can see how much time আপনি put into this. Keep it up! :)"
-Friendly
-Supportive
-Constructive
Bad: "THIS IS F**KN STOOPID 0/10"
-No Effort
-Not Constructive
-Comes Off As Bullying
-Grammar Dude....
So yeah, don't be offended when somebody says something's off in your articles, just take the উপদেশ and roll along with it, improving which each article. Also, just ignore the haters.
Pro Tip #6: Quality Over Quantity
EWWWW, QUALITY! TAKE IT AWAY, TAKE IT AWAY! D:
Seriously, if আপনি can make daily masterpieces then you're a better man than I.
Put time into your articles, and try to never post an প্রবন্ধ on a club if you've already had your turn and nobody else has gone after আপনি yet. I'll name this "Double-Posting".
Basically, give others a chance, and while আপনি do that, improve your work if it's already finished. After all, nobody likes a club full of প্রবন্ধ made দ্বারা the same guy, it's flooding and doesn't give others a chance to catch up.
So What've We Learned Here?
Making an প্রবন্ধ is like the creation of a cake. It takes time, effort, and consideration to be good. And if আপনি ignore/gloss over some of these rules, আপনি may find yourself in a bad position.
Grammar is key, stay creative & be yourself, maybe add some images, try to put in some effort, and know how to take some criticism. After all, it's almost NEVER easy starting out with something like this.
Think of YouTubers reacting to their old videos, they were still learning at the time and developing their personalities, which is why they weren't the best. But they kept pushing on through, and got where they are today. And honestly, I'm no different to this rule.
Seriously, go to ANY of my old প্রবন্ধ and you'll see that most of them were pretty trash, অথবা at least not as good as what I can do now. (For SURE. XD)
That's it for now guys, I hope everyone learned something from this! Being a writer on here for 4 years now, these tips are a few of the things I've learned, and am looking অগ্রবর্তী to a bright generation of articles.
Let me guys know what আপনি thought of this in the মতামত below, and until then, fare thee well!
