Our mission is to help you go from zero to amazing writer and we have strong opinions on how you should get there:
Writing is about thinking (not how to assemble adjectives).
Start small (don't write a book before testing that idea with smaller pieces).
Write where the readers are (don't write on your blog, write on social platforms).
Write lots (in the age of Digital Writing, volume wins).
Staring at a blank page is the worst problem facing writers.
These opinions touch every part of our product.
How to use Typeshare
Fundamentally, Typeshare helps you write and publish your content to social platforms (with a greater focus on the writing side of things). Here are the steps involved in this:
What should I write about?
What format should I write?
How do I actually write about this?
How do I share my piece once it's done?
We help you with each of these steps.
Step 1
The first step of writing is answering the question 'What should I write about?'. That's why we built the Endless Idea Generator. It helps you come up with endless writing ideas - all you have to do is give it a topic, and then swipe through a stack of ideas, saving your favourites.
Step 2
Next, you have to decide what you actually want to write. Should this idea be a tweet? Should it be a thread? A LinkedIn post? An Atomic Essay? Whatever you want to write, you can write it on Typeshare.
To turn a saved idea into a piece, go to the "My Ideas" page and click on the idea you want to write and select one of the formats.
Or, press the "Write" button at anytime to create a blank piece.
Step 3
Ok, now the hardest part - the blinking cursor on a blank page...oh wait this is Typeshare and that's not scary anymore!
The best place to start is by browsing our library of 200+ digital writing templates. Here's a quick how-to on how to access templates inside the editor.
You can filter templates by type, or the format you are writing. You can preview them all and decide on the perfect one! Once you've chosen a template, now it's time for you to do your magic! Fill in the template (and tweak it to fit your style).
If you are writing a piece with a headline (Atomic Essay, Blog Post, or Medium Story), then your digital writing assistant Athena can help you by providing a score and suggestions on how to improve your headline. Learn more about Athena here.
Step 4
Now, the last step! How do I actually share this piece with the world and see what people think? In Typeshare, this couldn't be easier. Just press the "Publish" button in the top right and from that menu you can publish or schedule the piece to Twitter, LinkedIn, Medium, or your Social Blog (this is your profile on Typeshare, which houses your best content).
For more info on publishing and scheduling, check out these guides.
And there you have it - you've gone from nothing to published post. Now repeat this process and you'll watch as you become a better and better writer.
We're adding new features every single day (seriously) to make this process smoother and easier for you.
