1: Understand your audience.
The most important step. You have to know what kind of people will be reading your content and write accordingly. There is no use in writing something that you know your readers will ignore.

4: Organize your content.
Think of the content you'll be writing about and organize it in the form of points. Then arrange them in order of importance and relevance.

5: Write!
Now expand each point into sentences or paragraphs, depending on the article.
6: Edit/proofread your post, and fix your formatting.
You'd be surprised at how many mistakes we make while writing. Whenever I write something I can often improve many things by just reading it once and improving the sentences and wording.
7: Pick a catchy title.
This is a very important step as well, the title is what will attract readers to open your post and start reading. Give this some thought and make it as catchy and attractive as possible while remaining true to the content.
This should be getting upvotes!

Number 6 is a doosy Proofreading is very important.
Useful and informative. I re-steemed, just incase I forget where I found it. The important thing though is I found it via a re-steem from Mil, (@slickhustler007). So don't upvote my reply, go upvote one of his.
Oh and in case you are wondering, I have no clue who Mil is, or even how I found is Blog. The important thing here is, I found you via him spreading your message.
