Why start an idea on OpinionFirst?

Every registered voter can start an idea for their own neighborhood, place, province, state, country, or for every group that was joined. 

OpinionFirst helps you to get your idea distributed in your community. Once your idea is published you have all the tools available to promote your idea!

OpinionFirst is a worldwide platform. Consequently, it is important to inform the right people about your idea. Who should read your idea? Which citizens, employees or members does it concern? OpinionFirst gives you a 'place' or 'group' suggestion, which you can change if needed.

Now that is clear who should receive your idea, let's create it:

①  What is the topic? 

What is your idea about? Select an existing OpinionFirst topic or start a new topic if that is not possible.

②  Share an idea

Express your idea in a clear, complete, and concise way in order to attract the maximum number of readers. Make sure you have read all the existing ideas on a topic before adding an idea. This helps to prevent duplicates.

Your title

We recommend a catchy, not too long title. Your title is never against something! It should state what your idea is about. 

Your idea text

Start your idea by giving a brief summary. With this text you attract response. It appears in invitations by e-mail, in idea listings, and in other places, so use the most important keywords. 

Subsequently, you can give background information, evidence, arguments, references, and advantages of what you propose.

③  Promote your idea

You immediately can start promoting your idea with a click on the blue button.
