Promote an article

Read it first

get_article by slug. Captions written from the title alone are the reason most promotional copy reads interchangeably.

Write per platform, not once

Each platform punishes copy written for a different one:

• X/Twitter — under 280 characters, hook in the first line, link last. No hashtag stuffing.
• LinkedIn — longer, first person, line breaks between short paragraphs. Lead with the insight, not the announcement.
• Reddit — conversational and genuinely non-promotional, or it gets removed and the account penalised. Recommend a relevant subreddit and its rules, and say clearly when self-promotion is not welcome there.

Always use the article's real URL from the API.

Amplify

• get_reactions — a post already resonating is the one worth promoting again.
• list_newsletter_issues — feature it in the next issue rather than only posting socially.
• get_follow_status when the user is considering outreach to another creator.
