POST TYPE · TAKE A POSITION

The insight post.
What you noticed.

Something you have seen across your work that others have not put into words — and what it means for the reader.

THE SHORT ANSWER

Line 1 states the observation as a fact you have seen (“Most of the … we see …”). Then the evidence — what you have seen and how often — then why it matters and what the reader should do about it. A claim about a study or a law gets its source.

An example.

EXAMPLE — written for a made-up web design studio.

Wweb design studioExample · Insight

Most small-business websites we review lose people at the contact form, not the home page. What we see: forms with nine fields, a required phone number, and no word on when anyone will reply. Why it matters: people who reach the form have already decided. Losing them there is the most expensive leak on the site. What to do: cut the form to three fields and say when you will answer.

The mistakes to avoid.

  • An “insight” everyone already knows.
  • A claim with nothing behind it.
  • No so-what for the reader.

Questions people ask.

What is the difference between an insight and a point of view?
An insight is something you observed; a point of view is what you think should be done. They pair well.
Do insight posts need sources?
Your own observations don't. A claim about a study, a law or a market number does.
Can PaperFlight write an insight post for me?
Yes. PaperFlight's AI CMO picks the kind for each day from your week plan; its Writer follows this structure in your voice, a critic checks it, and the Designer draws it as Insight and Statement in your brand. You approve it, or let it publish on its own.
