# 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.

## Do not

Claim engagement numbers, endorsements, or coverage that did not happen.
