A tip sheet can give you more respect in your field.
A tip sheet is similar to a press release in that it is presenting some new or interesting information to an audience. However, instead of using paragraphs and narrative to share information, a tip sheet typically uses bullet points or numbered lists. This helps make a tip sheet easier to read and gather the relevant information from. Other than sharing information, a tip sheet can help establish you as an expert in your industry. However, this can only happen if you write an effective tip sheet that your audience actually wants to read.
Instructions
1. Add a title to your tip sheet that makes your audience want to read it. For example, "Buying a Used Car" is descriptive but not interesting. However, "The Most Common Mistakes Made When Buying a Used Car" will get people's attention.
2. Include the number of tips you're giving in the title. The above title will then read, "The 10 Most Common Mistakes Made When Buying a Used Car."
3. Come up with sic to 12 tips to include in your tip sheet that relate to your topic. Do not go over one page.
4. Write one sentence for each tip. Then, add another sentence to tips that require further explanation or that need direction. Generally, keep each tip short and sweet.
5. Proofread your tip sheet. The tip sheet can be used the same way a press release is used, and if you're planning to send it out or have it published, you want it to be perfect.
