Title: Tell people who you’re talking about and what they should do (e.g. “Why You Should Stop Buying Meat From Tyson Foods”
-
Give Background: Explain to people what the entity in question is, and what they have done to piss you off, especially if this is a recent development.
-
Tell people what to do and HOW: Should they stop buying a particular product? Should they share something on social media? Remember that people are lazy, so you need to spoon feed them if you want to maximize your impact. If they should email a company, provide them with a template. If they should reach out to the company on social media, provide a link to their page. If they should avoid buying a product, tell them where they should look out for it and how to identify it.
-
Provide Evidence: Tell people who you know this to be true. Wherever possible, offer some media articles from reputable sources, or offer the strongest evidence possible. Do NOT make false or exaggerated accusations, as this will lead to the removal of your post.
