Here are the first 3 tips for becoming a successful writer:
WRITING TIP 1 - Never be boring...
Your reader will forgive almost anything except you being boring. Your reader doesn't have to agree with you, but he or she should at least be intrigued. Make the reader care. Don't be afraid to be different and slightly controversial.
Learn to look at each sentence and ask yourself, "Will the reader like what they are reading?"
WRITING TIP 2 - Facts tell, stories sell!
Facts tell and stories sell. The best writers have always been good storytellers. You only have to read stories created by JK Rowling and Roald Dahl to realise this statement is true. Your own stories are the best. What you are sharing is wisdom from your point of view and stories can illustrate this better than anything else.
WRITING TIP 3 - Paint pictures
We think in pictures and you should therefore write in a way that creates these pictures in the mind of the reader. Try to think of a great Novel that you have read and think about why it was so effective. When you think of that Novel, do you get pictures in your mind? Enough said!
