2) Community Questions and Answers - The Basis of Mental Health Awareness and Support
by SoulfullyAButterfly
Last post
3 hours ago
...See more As previously introduced, the Questions and Answers Pages [https://www.7cups.com/qa/]at 7 Cups offer a wide range of quality based answers to common mental health questions Questions and Answers are available for 38 main categories, ranging from General Mental Health, Disabilities, Managing Emotions, Loneliness, Grief, Recovery, Student Life, Work Stress, and many more! Through this directory of available knowledge, awareness, and support, 7 Cups is equipped with answers to the common questions and concerns people have. Most of these Questions and Answers are featured in search engine results due to the value of the content they contain. The main community Questions and Answers Page offers a recent questions section as well as a section containing the most answered questions. All 7 Cups users are invited to search for or ask new questions through the main page. Community users can also participate in this area by submitting their answers, which are reviewed by a team for quality and other important requirements. Through this discussion, we will discuss the basic requirements needed to research as well as write quality answers for the Question and Answer Pages. Additionally, we will optimize the drafted answers in light of certain guidelines. (i) Basic Research and Writing Requirements: When writing answers to community questions, keep in mind these tips: * You need to write a minimum of 150 characters and 100 words. * If research is needed to guide your answer, consider only learning about the topic and avoid direct copy/pasting researched tips, advice, or information. * Consider verifying the information or facts through at least 2 reliable sources. * When researching possible answers or things the person can benefit from, consider their circumstances and if the tip is do-able and generally applicable. * Avoid plagiarism. * Use professional and appropriate language. * If comfortable, you can add a personal anecdote to help add meaning to your answer. However, avoid turning the answer to just your account or an entire focus on your experience. * Be empathetic, and consider using active listening skills to help not only answer their question but their feelings - this adds connection and meaning to your answer, as well as identifies understanding, which can lead to trust. * Answers should be related to the question and must contain tips or approaches to help deal with the question/situation instead of vague responses, even if positive. * 7 Cups is based on avoiding direct advice, this is because we do not know the complete scenario or situation a person may be facing. Keeping that in mind, avoid giving answers that provide one possible “solution” - a good tip is to consider encompassing all possible outcomes or more than one thing the person can try. (ii) Ensuring Optimized Answers: Although the above requirements and tips help deliver a great answer, further optimization of drafted answers can help ensure their quality. At 7 Cups, the Content Team uses researched and identified important keywords to guide their research and the writing process to result in optimized content as answers to community questions. In this regard, the basic tips/requirements involved are: * Ensure answers have at least 8 to 10 sentences. * Ensure the usage/incorporation of the maximum number or all of the provided keywords that can relate to the topic. What are Keywords? Generally, keywords can be thought of as terms or phrases that describe a piece of content. Related keywords are supporting keywords that can help further describe or expand on that initial content. For example, for the keyword “anxiety”, related keywords can be “anxiety symptoms” or “anxiety treatments”. Keywords help with search engine marketing and hence are an important part of SEO strategies. A simple strategy to find keywords is to look for Google Related Searches. These related searches are searches that relate to your term. For instance, a Google Related Search for “anxiety symptoms” is “what is anxiety” - using this insight, you can consider including this phrase alongside a brief category of your content outline to help strengthen the optimization of your content. For other free tools to help with keyword research, you can visit this [https://www.wordstream.com/blog/ws/2013/09/18/best-keyword-research-tools] external link. Activity Review this Sample Optimized Answer: Question: How do paper bags help with panic attacks? [https://www.7cups.com/qa-panic-attacks-13/how-do-paper-bags-help-with-panic-attacks-129/] Provided Keywords: asthma attack, heart attacks, asthma, problems, brown paper bag, medical conditions, hyperventilation syndrome, mouth, respiratory alkalosis, common causes, chest pain, benefit, stress, medications Approved, Optimized Answer: While panic attacks might mimic the symptoms of heart attacks, they can be caused by several other problems and medical conditions. These include feeling stressed or facing medical conditions such as asthma attacks, hyperventilation syndrome, or even respiratory alkalosis. Although the common causes may differ, common symptoms include chest pain. Deep breathing through the mouth or by using a brown paper bag has its benefits, as it aids in the restoration of the loss of carbon dioxide in the blood during the panic attack. Notes: The question was general, requiring general research-based knowledge on the process of using paper bags for panic attacks. As the keywords were essentially covered, note that this answer does not have 8-10 sentences, but further supporting information or even a personal anecdote can be added. The following activity will help you put your attained knowledge to practice. Please write an optimized answer to the following community question, in light of the provided keywords. In addition, you are required to reply to at least one other student’s answer by identifying at least 3 strengths (things done correctly as per discussed guidelines) as well as at least 1 tip for improving the answer. Note: You are welcome to click the question link and submit your written answer for community publication once done as this is an existing question! Please do not forget to personally save your activity answers as well as your reply to another user’s answer (recommended on Google Doc or other means) as you will be asked to share this for your Weekly Progress Report. Question: What to do when you feel you are not good enough for someone? [https://www.7cups.com/qa-breakups-21/what-to-do-when-you-feel-you-are-not-good-enough-for-someone-5982/] Provided Keywords: parents, partner, self-esteem, social media, self-worth, good news, best way, first step, human beings, children, therapy, self-love, family members, better person, good time, good luck, inner critic, self-doubt, negative self-talk, real reason, whole life, amazing person, self-confidence, voice, right thing, healthy relationship, great things, information, communication, end of the day Bonus: Want to put your knowledge to test?

What is one thing you want to try but still afraid to pursue? 😮

...See more I think we all have something that we think about from time to time and wonder how our life would have changed if we had done it already!! For me, it’s writing a book. I have so many unfinished pieces of stories that I have started at one point in my life but could not finish it. It’s the procrastination. Yes. But it’s also the fear i.e. predictability of the result. What if nobody reads it !!- that’s my main concern rather than finishing the book with focus and finding out the reality after publishing. Many of us might have underestimated this question but I believe this is a thought-provoking one. So, - What is ONE thing you want to try but you are still afraid to proceed? - Also, Do you have any affirmations that I could keep in mind while pursuing my writing journey? Impart your wisdom so that I can include it in my guide-book of life. I am ready to note it down with a notepad and my favorite pen. 🥰 ------------------------- This post is brought to you by the Content Development & Marketing Program.

11) Headlining and Sub-Headlining Effective Content Pieces
by SoulfullyAButterfly
Last post
15 hours ago
...See more Article titles (headlines), as well as subheadlines, are one of the first things a reader reads. In this discussion, we will understand effective strategies to write headline titles as well as subheadlines to these titles. Some general tips include: * Avoid long article titles: try to fit the title within 62 characters or limit it to 5-7 words. * Consider using “What”, “Why”, “How”, or “When” as these are catchy and add to curiosity. * Use Numbers - numbers ensure the availability of organized information, and are generally liked: using Odd Numbers in the title has helped in terms of SEO. Remember to write the number itself (5 instead of five). * To add specificity, consider using “the” before the number. * Provide an answer to why people should click and read your content: words like “tips”, “strategies”, “facts”, “reasons” all help provide a rationale. * Include the word “Guide” where applicable. * Consider using emotional adjectives that describe the topic. For example, “essential”, “free” etc. * Consider outlining Negative aspects - spin this to meet mental health content goals. For example, The 5 Essential Things You Did Not Know About Depression. * Use common words to ensure people understand and grasp the topic while finding the title simple * Consider using a “Things I Wish I Had Known” approach to content if applicable. How to test your headline as being unique: Copy and paste your headline with quotation marks into the Google search bar. (e.g. “The 5 Essential Things You Did Not Know About Depression”) - if the results come back as “no results found”, your headline is unique! Helpful Resource: Useful Title Capitalization Tool [https://capitalizemytitle.com/] Note: The bottom line to success in terms of marketing and content is to ensure that your content body reflects the great headline/title. It might be worth considering to write final titles after the content body. Subheadlines: Effective subheadlines summarize the content body while also linking it to the title. Activity Using the knowledge attained through this discussion, propose a new article title as well as a subheadline for this [https://www.7cups.com/experts/coping-with-loneliness-during-the-holidays] published article at 7 Cups. Reply to at least one other student’s response and share your feedback with them (Edited by @SoulfullyAButterfly: 12/2/2021 to clarify "subheadline" instead of subheading) - This post is brought to you by the Content Development and Marketing Program, find out more information about the program here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/SiteUpdates_100/SoulfullyAButterflysContentGarden_2136/7CupsAcademyContentDevelopmentandMarketingCDMProgram_236685/1/]

...See more This discussion aims to present some tips for the article outlining process - it is a general discussion and you are not limited to using these techniques but are welcome to share your personal experiences and suggestions in the forum replies! * Brainstorming * Brainstorm the need for your content piece - establish your idea and consider what the content needs to contain by asking yourself the purpose of the content piece and what your audience would like to know through your work. * Moreover, consider auditing existing content to find opportunities for interconnected content as well as to find ideas for further enhancing your content collection. * For example, you can browse through the current Expert articles available at 7 Cups and consider what related or supporting content works can be developed. * Developing a Concrete Idea * After brainstorming the need for your content work, develop a concrete idea to support your proposed title. A concrete idea is simply what purpose you intend to fulfill through your content. * In other words, be clear about what you would like to include within your content article. * Listing Main Points * Consider listing the main points of what you would like to include in your content article: you can consider starting with major subheadings and their supporting points, or just a general list of points you would like to include and research. * Descriptions of Main Points * After forming the list of main points, consider adding small details or descriptions about what that point should contain or answer - these descriptions can include pointers on what to research, questions, etc. * After writing the list and descriptions, consider where you want to add expert quotes and what type of expert you can contact. * Moreover, consider creating a brief list of existing content you can use and backlink to. * You can edit your outline to include any new things that come up during your research for other points, but it is recommended to keep your content within your outline/concrete idea after creating it.

...See more Hey Forum Fam! 👋   Hope this post finds you all in good spirits! Today, I wanted to dive into a topic that holds extraordinary power and can truly transform our lives - Gratitude! 🌈 Gratitude isn't just a fleeting emotion; it's a mindset, a superpower that can bring about positive changes in our lives. It's about appreciating the little things, finding joy in the ordinary, and acknowledging the beauty in every moment.   I'd love to hear your thoughts on gratitude: 1. What's your go-to gratitude practice? Do you keep a gratitude journal, or maybe you have a daily ritual that helps you stay thankful for the good things in your life? 2. Share a moment when gratitude made a significant impact on your day or life. Was it a small gesture, a kind word, or a simple realization that turned your day around?   Remember, we're here to inspire and uplift each other! Let's create a gratitude ripple effect and spread those good vibes. 🌟 Can't wait to read your stories and insights! 💖✨ This post is brought to you by the Content Development & Marketing Program.
