&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;1. &amp;nbsp;READ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;2. &amp;nbsp;LISTEN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;During conversations, listen more than you talk.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Listen for what people are interested in and blog about it.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;3. &amp;nbsp;ANSWER QUESTIONS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;People want answers to their questions.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Use conversations to find out what questions are currently important.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Write down titles and topic ideas in a notepad and blog about them.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Do Not Be A Perfectionist!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Blog it before someone else does!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Get the post up fast!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Edit when you have time.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Perfectionism wastes time.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;5. &amp;nbsp;SURF THE WEB&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Dissect blogs, incorporate what you like into your blog.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Do not repeat mistakes you see in other blogs.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Learn how to write by looking for what works and add what works into your blogs.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;6. &amp;nbsp;PICTURES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;A picture is worth a thousand words!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Use pictures with your blog to capture and keep reader interest.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Pictures provoke emotion and emotion captures readers.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;7. &amp;nbsp;CREATE A FOLLOWING&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Think about who you want to follow your blog and write for them.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Write about what excites you!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;If it excites you it will excite your readers and they will want to follow your blog.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
