1- Be consistent with colors, stick to 3 for tints and shades.
2- Consistency in imagery
3. Use commas and ellipsis to connect individual ideas.
4- Attention-grabbing headlines
5- Clear promise: Make it very clear what you want people to think or feel.
6- Be careful when using apostrophes instead of dashes
7. Put a space before the ellipsis and an equal amount of space between them.
8 – Your photo at the end of the post should easily convey who you are.
