It's truly amazing what can happen when a community comes together to
help each other. At OrganizedWisdom.com, people like you have been
sharing their best health advice, ideas and recommendations by publishing
WisdomCards on everything from Preventing Back Pain and Healthy Diets
to Alzheimer's Disease and Arthritis -- and the knowledge being shared
is already helping thousands of people who are searching for this
information.
Since a lot of our members have been asking us recently about what makes
a really great WisdomCard, we thought we would share some tips we've
learned from the best wisdom already being shared on OrganizedWisdom.com.
I hope you will use these tips to create more great WisdomCards!
Tip #1: The Golden Rule to WisdomCards
Have you ever needed to find an answer to an important health question and
not been able to quickly locate a straight answer? The most important
thing you can do when creating a WisdomCard is to think about what you
would want to know if you were the person needing help.
Tip #2: Everyone Has Wisdom to Share
I can't tell you how many people have emailed me saying: I really want to
create a WisdomCard but I don't have anything important to say. Well, the
truth is, everyone has important health wisdom to share. In fact, people
share health tips and stories with friends and family all the time. Now
let's get all this great collective wisdom written down and make it easy
for others to find!
Tip #3: Pick A Topic You Know About
Start by thinking what health experiences you or a loved one have
experienced. Have you ever been sick? Or to a hospital, dentist, therapist,
or treatment center? Have you ever used a medication? What worked? Did you
wish you did something differently? Whether you have experience with a very
serious condition, or something seemingly simple, share what you know.
Tip #4: Be Honest
This goes without saying, but the best wisdom is honest and sincere.
Remember, you can remain anonymous if you want so don't be afraid to open up.
Tip #5: Be Specific - The More Details the Better
The more detailed you are the better. Share specific tips, advice, and
lessons learned. Your details will help others.
Tip #6: Offer Practical Advice
Try to share actionable information. Much of the health information
available online leaves people wondering what questions they should ask
their doctor or what they should do next. You now have the chance to publish
tips people can use.
Tip #7: Recommendations Are Invaluable
Tell people what books, websites, medications, doctors, treatment centers,
etc. helped you most. If they helped you, they could help others too.
Tip #8: Hope Helps
Your stories can inspire and provide hope. And this can often help more than
anything.
Tip #9: Create More Than One
We hope you will publish several WisdomCards on as many topics as you have
experience with. Remember, you can create more detailed WisdomCards on
specific products, medications, treatment centers or anything you want.
We hope you find these ideas useful when creating your next WisdomCard...
