“Seeing is not enough; you have to feel what you photograph” – Andre Kertesz

Clarity, conciseness, and connection: they make the world go round.

Take a step back and see how your writing looks — visually. Pretty it up by adding sub-headings, bulleted points, numbered lists, images and lots of white space. Make it easy on the eyes.

Draw your reader down into the rest of the post. Get them from one sentence to the next, working their way through your post. If people aren’t even reading, none of the other good benefits will come.

You need to make your audience curious, and you always need to spell out the benefit of them reading the post. Make prospective readers and subscribers think: I have to read that, right now!

Learn from the best.

I don’t care what anyone says, content is still king. Make sure yourcontent doesn’t suck. Otherwise, your subscriber count might be stuck on single digits — indefinitely.

Conduct surveys.

At one point or the other, you’ll be struck by writer’s block. Ask your audience what they want to read about. They might surprise you.

Posting every day is a silly strategy and you need to follow the 80-20 rule. Spend 20% of your time creating content and 80% promoting it.

lways be on the lookout for new ideas for getting inspired to write. And have someplace where you can easily record them to refer back to later.  UseEvernote as an online catch-all for writing ideas.
