Good points @yemmy4eva ;)

I would also add another step "Don't push it, if it's not there at the moment."

I have seen some posts that were just waste of my time, it seemed just like someone put together bunch of random words and talked about nothing.

I think those people are chasing those $ 24/7, no mather what, even if they don't have what to write about (at the moment) :D
