#Bluesky Tip: Share behind-the-scenes content. Process > perfection. People love to see how things are made, not just the polished result. Authenticity drives engagement.

Your profile on the Open Social Web looks the same as your profile on Big Tech social platforms, but there's a big difference.
Your profile is no longer a profile on a platform, but an address across a web. That's why we recommend filling out your profile here carefully.

#Bluesky Tip: Don’t post and ghost. Stick around after you post: reply, engage, and keep the conversation alive while your content is fresh.

#Bluesky Tip: Use strong visuals: images, infographics, or styled quotes. Posts with visuals stand out in feeds and spark more shares. Design matters.
