Keep your followers updated on your progress

The updates section lets your followers stay tuned to your project. This will be your main communication channel to give news about your project, and it's also the project section that is most frequented by all Tree-Nation users. Unlike other sections, the updates section is meant to be refreshed with new content regularly.

Also, all your updates will appear on the general updates page alongside other projects' news. If you post updates, new users will discover your project, as your posts will appear at the top of the user's news feed.

There are 2 kinds of updates: posts and articles.

Posts
Posts are meant to be short. You can include a small text with a picture or a video on them.

This lets you show your day-to-day activity and reminds your followers that your project is running well.

Make sure you are logged in and use the green 'Post an update' button you’ll find in your updates section.

We recommend you to post a minimum of 2 short posts per month.

Post topics: Tree planting updates, news from the field, team members (presenting new team members or showing some pictures of the planting team), and information about species and fauna.

How to add a post: After you click on the 'Post a project update' button, you will have the following options: you can upload a picture or link a video, write about your project, select up to 3 key elements, and then click on the green button ‘Post update'.
