How to write one post that fits everywhere
- 1
Write the full version first, then trim for the shortest network you post to.
- 2
Put the hook in the first 120 characters. Most feeds cut off around there.
- 3
Keep links and hashtags at the end so they're easy to drop per network.
- 4
Use Postoni's composer to keep one draft and tweak each channel's copy.
