Avoid Plagiarism
The community totally frowns at plagiarised contents. These are contents lifted from the website such as Google etc. Make sure the contents you post are your original contents.
Reference images you get online. You can get images from pixabay. Also, learn how to use markdown as it helps to make your contents look well arranged, attractive and readable.
Engage Posts
Engaging quality posts will bring writers attention to your blog, especially curators. Also, it is worthy to note that only quality comments are welcome/appreciated.
Comments such as good post, wow!, great content etc will be flagged, avoid total use of such words.
Be Simple & Consistent
While it is good to express yourself through words, it is equally important to avoid ambiguity. No one loves to always carry a dictionary when reading a post. You can come as simple as possible. Make your posts relative, concise and easy to understand. That way, you sustain the interests of your audience.
Never to forget that consistency is key to achieving success. It is the right tool you need to remain relevant in today's world. You might want to continue posting/writing your creative articles without looking back. Your reward is just around the corner.
Here's a personal advice; be on the look out for contests, just like this particular one. Time and schedule beat me to this but no knowledge is a waste. I know newbies will learn from this. You can check out this contest by
