Online Writing Course: Craft Longer, More Engaging Forum Posts and Comments.
The user mentions their struggle with writing longer, more substantive online posts: "every time I try to make posts like others do, I can't think of enough words or things to say," and notes that while "others on subreddits type paragraphs... I only type basic questions." This clearly shows a desire to improve their skills in generating and articulating more extensive written content for online discussions.
Product Suggestion: An information resource, specifically a concise e-book or a short, practical online course titled, for example, "From Quick Questions to Quality Posts: A Guide to Writing Longer, More Thoughtful Online Content."
This resource would focus on actionable techniques such as:
- Idea Expansion: Methods for brainstorming related concepts, asking follow-up questions to your initial thoughts, and exploring different facets of a topic to generate more "things to say."
- Paragraph Construction: Simple frameworks for building a point, providing supporting details or examples, and elaborating on an idea to form a coherent paragraph.
- Elaboration Strategies: Techniques to move beyond basic statements by adding depth, context, personal reflections (where appropriate), or by considering different perspectives.
- Content Structuring for Online Forums: Tips on how to organize thoughts for clarity in a threaded discussion, perhaps addressing specific types of posts (e.g., responses, original posts on complex topics like philosophy).
- Overcoming Writer's Block for Posts: Practical exercises and prompts to help users practice developing longer-form responses from simple starting points.
Expected Benefit: The user would gain practical skills and increased confidence to develop their initial "basic questions" or brief thoughts into more substantial, paragraph-length contributions. This would lead to more satisfying participation in online discussions, an enhanced ability to articulate their ideas comprehensively, and a greater capacity to engage in deeper conversations on platforms like subreddits.
