Number 1. Be useful.
If your blog post isn’t informing, inspiring, entertaining, or making someone’s life better in some way, do not publish it until it is.

Your opinions are what sets your blog post apart from what everyone else is writing about, so share them.
Number 3. Cut out the fluff.

Writing with a reader in mind personalizes your writing in ways that you cannot even imagine.

Stories are incredibly powerful at connecting with your readers in inspiring and teaching them. They will also create memories in your readers.
