[[There are 7 major types of posts: Informative, Hook, Hook-Line, Updative, Predictive, Pass-Along & Subjected.

Informative - To give new information to your audience. These posts are to give actual information like a review or non-opinionated comments. Only factual situations.
{These posts are used to catch attention the "old fashioned" way with blunt fact/info. These posts are great to use as Hook-Line posts so you can offer subjected information in another post later.}

Hook - a short, quick set of words or phrase to get others involved in your page. Hooks are normally phrases that catch attention and normally are the cause of memes.
{Hooks tend to be randomly spoken in real life (IRL) that are stated/repeated/mocked online so, in other words, hooks don't have to be original. This can help keep users returning and increase your range but these types of posts can also set up your niche.}

Hook-Line (H-L)- Original ads/pictures/memes/statements used to catch attention to your page(s) or an affiliates with a link.
{Basically a Hook but original to the link used with it. Yes, H-L almost always have a link. H-L is normally affiliates posts but you will post your Hook-Lines so your affiliates can post yours!}

Updative - is when you update about a post or situation that already has taken place. This can be done live.
{Simple enough, these are updates or notifications about something that is or has happened. This will apply to any user that the subject applies to.}

Predictive - posts that predict any possible outcome before an event happens. Must be done before live events or as the live event begins.
{Not everyone does predictive posts but using Predictive Hooks/Hook-Lines it becomes a practical tool for keeping users engaged.}

Pass-Along - re-post/re-tweet/re-pin/share/to repeat a post that is not your own.
{Commenting on these Pass-Alongs can redirect people to you after they check out what the message you passed was. A great way to increase your range of audience.}

Subjected - posts that are subjected to opinions of any other than the reader.
{These posts are controversial to society but for communities of small niche groups it can be perfectly accepted. More long term users will be accepting of these posts but these posts can attract attention of like minded users.}

Using combinations of these types can give your audience a more "grounded" feeling about your posts. There are conditions, don't do oxymoron posts. In example:
{Informative & Subjected as a single post/hook/H-L.}
The order of your content does matter, for example:
{Predictive post than Informative hook can cause your audience to not need to see the Informative hook since they already heard your opinion and now have their own opinion based on your opinion, only. This leaves you open to trolls (people whom humiliate others online) & bullies.} ]]
