write in your own voice. A great post will sound like a real person wrote it and it will have a distinctive voice. If you are not sure what „voice“ means in this context, think about it this way – how would you explain your idea to a good friend?
Keep it short. Just 700 words is great. If you are going to offer tips, include short introductory paragraph on the top of your post explaining why you are offering this advice. Are you an expert on the topic?
Delete needless words – include only words which are absolutely necessary, get rid of the rest.
