Step 1 of 5
Picking up from last time
Now let's choose the form your post takes.
Last time you learned what to leave out. Now we go one small step more.
The same words can be shared in different forms. A form is just the shape of your message. One form gives away a lot. Another gives away very little. You get to pick which one.
Start by asking yourself a simple question. Who really needs to see this part of my message?
Many people need ita couch for sale, so a public post works fine
Only one person needs ityour phone number, so send that in a private message
One rule keeps you safe. Real details belong in a private message, not in a public post. A public post is one anyone can read.
And never share health, money, legal, account, or safety details with strangers. For those, ask a real person you trust.
