4. Take the list that you created on the Table of Contents page and turn each line item into a header on it’s own page. You will have the opportunity to go elaborate on each item and add images to help the reader further understand the value of each item. Keep in mind that different layouts can be used for different points that you are trying to convey: e.g. images, data, statistics and quotes. 1 Add Your List Items as Headers

5. Once you have gone through and selected the page layouts that you will be using for this resource, go ahead and delete any of the pages that you will not be using. On the other hand, feel free to duplicate pages that have a style you really like. You can reuse formats, if you prefer. Bear in mind that you can adjust the text and colors as you go. But, the first priority should be getting down your thoughts. Each page only needs a few sentences to add value to the main point from your list.

6. It’s really important to go back and add more information to support each page header. If you think about the table of contents as the back bone of you piece, you need to explain a little more and add some muscle to your post through context. While you do not need to write a ton of content here, it still needs to add value and each page should provide the reader with a takeaway. If it is too “fluffy”, your reader will not see value in the information and may even get frustrated that there was not enough helpful information for them. 3 Give Context for Each Header

7. One of the greatest ways to help support, and sometimes even increase the value of, your text is through the use of visual aides. If you are writing about a “How-to”, Examples, or anything in between, pictures can be your best friend. Not to mention that they can help break up the text making the information more digestible by your reader. Using sites like photopin.com and Creative Commons can be a great way to get some photos for your content. Be sure to give credit where credit is due and mind the license on the image.

8. “ Ensure that people see your valuable takeaway. Make it impossible for them to miss.” 5 Emphasize an Important Quote or Stat If you have a quote that is really important, ensure that people see your valuable takeaway. Make it impossible for them to miss. You can do this by separating the quote that will surprise, shock and stimulate them so that if they missed it the first time, they definitely won’t the second time. If this is a quote or statistic that supports your point by isn’t originally by you, give credit where it is due!

9. Conveying the importance of a given topic can be done in a few different ways. Accentuating phrases and keywords, without having your reader feel as though they are BEING YELLED AT, can be a great way to emphasize what you want them to view as a **key takeaway. Experiment around with making things bigger to stand out and smaller to make it more of a note. You can also change the colors to make things more noticeable. **What ever you decide, be consistent with colors, fonts and styling throughout the entire resource** 6 Formatting is Your Friend
