[note Official] 4 Recommended Points

Hello! This is Tenten.

Do you know the four important points for writing articles on note?

I'll give you the answer right away.

Actually, above the dashboard within note,

there is a wonderful section called

"How to get more reads."

Sorry to those who were expecting something else...

Yes, it's content that anyone can read (lol).

If you didn't know about it, that's okay.

I have summarized the content I consider most important into four steps.

You can learn it in this article without having to go read the original text!

Step 1: [Preparation] First, let's create your "face"!

This is the initial setup to make people who come to read your articles think,

"This person seems interesting!"

It is the initial setup to make them think that.

Set your icon and self-introduction (140 characters)

Your icon is your "face".

Whether it's an illustration or a photo, set something that conveys your vibe.

In your self-introduction (within 140 characters),

write about your club activities, hobbies, things you like, and how often you post

.

Link your commonly used SNS (like X)

By linking SNS that shows your daily life in addition to note, it becomes easier for people to feel a sense of familiarity with you.

Create a thank-you message for 'Likes' and 'Follows'

You can set an automatic message that appears when someone 'Likes' your article or follows you.

Adding a simple 'Thank you!' or making it like a random fortune-telling message can help increase your fan base.

Turn on the 'Recommended' section

Check the box in settings that says 'Display recommended articles from other creators below my articles'.

Doing this creates a chance for your articles to be introduced below other people's articles!

Step 2: [Writing Edition] Let's write articles that are easy to read quickly on a smartphone!

First, here are some tips for writing about things you enjoy in a way that is easy for readers to read.

Write about 'things you love' with a single theme

Instead of writing for money or traffic, write about things you are passionate about (fandom activities, hobbies, school life, etc.).

This is the best tip for keeping it up for a long time.

Don't cram too much in; stick to 'one theme per article'.

If you have a lot you want to write about, split your article into multiple parts.

Use frequent line breaks to make it easy to read on smartphones

Most people read articles on their smartphones.

If the text is packed too tightly, they will stop reading halfway through.

Keep sentences short, and try to move to a new paragraph (leave a gap) after about 5 lines.

Include a summary at the beginning and the end

Beginning (Lead sentence):
Write a short introduction of about 50 characters explaining what the article is about.

This ensures it displays nicely when shared on social media.

End (Summary):

Wrapping up by briefly reviewing the main points at the end of the article increases reader satisfaction.

Try reading it aloud before publishing

Once you finish writing, try reading it aloud.

If you notice parts where the rhythm feels off or you run out of breath (meaning the sentence is too long),

break the sentences into shorter segments or change the wording to fix them.

Step 3: [Delivery Edition] Get your article read by many people!

Once you have written your article, try to find ways to make it catch more people's eyes.

Always set a cover image

The probability of an article being read is completely different depending on whether it has an image or not.

If you cannot prepare one yourself, it is convenient to use note's handy feature, 'Everyone's Photo Gallery'.

Let's borrow wonderful images created by others.

Add about 5 hashtags

Carefully select and add relevant keywords, such as article types like "#diary" or "#essay," or themes like "#anime" or "#games."

Add a "short comment" when sharing on social media

When sharing your article on X or other platforms, try not to just post the link and leave it at that.

Writing a comment or summary like "This is the highlight!" or "I wrote this with these thoughts in mind" makes it easier to get clicks.

Check the "Permission for external distribution" box

If you turn on "Allow introduction on official SNS and distribution to external sites" in your account settings, you will have a chance to be featured on news sites or by note official.

Step 4: [Future Edition] Expand your opportunities as a creator!

Once you get used to posting, try taking a step forward for your future self.

Write a "self-introduction article" and pin it to the top

Write one "profile article" that summarizes who you are and your past best work, and pin it to the top of your page.

This makes it easier for first-time visitors to become your fans.

Participate in "contests" or "topic projects"

note is always running various contests and topic projects like "#self-introduction" or "#what-is."

Just by writing according to the topic, it becomes a great opportunity to be seen by many people.

Create a 'Work Request (Things I want to try)' article

Even as a high school student, if you have skills or things you want to challenge yourself with, such as 'I draw illustrations' or 'I accept writing requests,' you can create a 'Work Request' article and pin it to the top.

It might lead to future work or opportunities.

Finally, the most important thing

As written in the article, the most important things for a creator are to 'keep enjoying creation' and 'keep publishing continuously.'

It is fine to start with short pieces of writing.

Don't push yourself too hard, and please enjoy sharing what you 'love'!

Besides that, there are other important things to turn note into a business.

If you are interested, please be sure to read it!
