Setting your goal is essential for any project you are going to start because it helps you keep on track and you will always know where you are heading to.

Know your audience
At first, you got to analyze your niche. Your audience has to be related to your niche. When you are writing content, remember that you’re writing it for your audience, not for yourself.
