This guide is specifically designed for Forumers who wish to create a helpful resource for the Gimkit Community!
Let’s get straight into it!
-
Introduction
Before starting anything or adding information to your guide, include an introduction! Including an introduction helps readers understand the content they will be exploring!
Having a clear introduction also makes the guide more interesting! -
Titles
The title is one of the most important elements of creating a guide!
An example of a good title is ‘A Guide on Making Sentries Talk!’ or ‘A Guide on Holiday Decorations!’
Make sure to include a title so your readers know what content they are about to explore! -
Images
The use of images helps readers gain a deeper understanding of your guide.
They are also beneficial when readers need a clear visual of what they want to learn!
‘Props to use for Thanksgiving!’ -
Humor
Humor is an important feature to add to your guides.
It not only enhances the reading experience but also makes the content more engaging and enjoyable for your audience!
Speaking of humor, why did the chicken cross the road?
heh heh…
- Explanation/Instructions
If you’re making a guide that includes complicated devices or terrain, including instructions would be crucial!
Make sure to give clear explanations for every step, doing this will ensure your readers get enough information!
And if they still need assistance, encourage them to ask for more help in the replies!
Those where the features that make your guides more helpful!
Now let’s review features you SHOULDN’T add to your guides.
-
Guide Relevance:
Now making guides to help out the community is great and all, but the most common mistake new guides have are their relevance.
You should make guides that actually HELP (why do I keep doing this) the community.
Guides like how to open or host a gimkit game are a huge no-no. -
Already-existing guides:
We should always make sure to check if there are similar guides to the ones we are about to make.
Not doing this may be risky as a moderator could take down your guide.
speaking of which, @twofoursixeight, I have checked to see if there are guides similar to this one I made, correct me if I’m wrong pls
That’s the end of this guide, hope it assists you in some way!
