Articles
Select an actual topic, make your own research and write an article.
REMEMBER: Any article should have a logical beginning, basis and end (conclusion). It should be individual and original. If several articles on one topic have already been written before you, it is better to take another topic.
Avoid copying, a unique article that people haven't seen yet will attract a lot more attention. Use reliable sources, conduct research, share your observations, thoughts, conclusions.
Before you start writing an article, you need to answer the main question — why am I writing it. There must be a goal in your article, so think about what exactly you want to say. You need to think — who is your reader? The style of the article and the terms you can use will depend on the target audience, and the text should solve the reader's problem and make his life easier. Pay attention to the title, the title largely determines whether the article will be read or not, so it should be catchy and short. Make the text readable by splitting it into paragraphs. Images, charts and graphics can also help add a pleasant look to your work. Don’t forget to put Aptos social media links. At the end, be sure of your perfect English grammar, to re-read your article and check for errors, whether it is written in the same style or you have lost your thought.
Post your article on Medium, Teletype or other social media, use the hashtags #AptosMovement and share link in #learning.

Twitter Post/Threads
Developing daily content to support any Aptos campaigns, events or repost essential info from other Aptos contributors.
Create threads that help to understand Aptos project and ecosystem in a way that is engaging.
REMEMBER: A twitter thread is a collection of tweets in a sequential chain, where each tweet builds on the previous one. The number of characters in a regular tweet is limited to 280 characters, a twitter thread gives you the opportunity to tell more and make your message more informative, more exciting.
A good twitter thread should include:
- A clear goal - define your message, what you want to achieve with your tweet, knowing your audience.
- Structure – plan your tweets ahead of time, combine them together, the text should be essentially and devoted to the same topic.
- Attractiveness - adding videos and images helps visually separate the text and attract attention.
- Relationship - if you run a YouTube channel, write articles, or are otherwise active on other platforms, be sure to communicate your work in a good tweet thread, duplicating this information and sharing links.
Use the hashtags #AptosMovement and don't forget to tag @AptosLabs in your Twitter post/thread. Share your link in #learning.

The goal of any infographic is to reduce the time to get the necessary information by using a structured presentation of information. Think about a good idea, look for interesting facts and statistics. Develop a system of strong and meaningful arguments, summarize key concepts, observe visual hierarchy, and make infographics visually attractive. Simplify, make it your goal to make a design that is simple and understandable at first glance. Do not overload the infographic with the placement of a large amount of information. Decide on an eye-catching color scheme in accordance with the unique style of Aptos.

Videos
Start from video blades - just take existing videos of interviews, conferences, etc, and split them into small parts to be repurposed on different social media. Also create an educational video series focused on Aptos. Share your video contents’ link in #design.
REMEMBER: Before you start shooting a video clip and writing a script for it, be sure to come up with an idea. The more interesting the idea, the better video will turn out. Determine why people will watch this video? The strategy will help in this: defining the goal, plan, main idea (find the problem and show the solution), insight. Understanding your audience, deciding on the style and presentation. Try to structure your content in advance and upload videos in a logical sequence.
The video shouldn't be long. Use high-quality and attractive video effects, music. If you record your voice, record it as clearly as possible, if it is not possible to do it qualitatively, then you can do joint work by teaming up with someone. You can manage Aptos Youtube Channel, add new videos and create compilations of useful interviews, events, etc.

How else can you be useful to the community?
The Ambassador role has a lot of autonomy – you should be a self-starter and be capable of self-directed work.
Ask yourself how you can contribute to Aptos in different areas such as educational, entertainment (puzzle, crosswords, quiz) or technical (guide to install node) materials and how you can add value to the project and its community.
If you have experience of creating non-standard content in the form of songs, poems and so on or setting up AMAs/Twitter Spaces with other communities to cross pollinate members, you’re welcome. Just be creative! Together, we can grow this community beyond anything we would have imagined possible!
