don’t expect immediate results; try, test, find out what works the best

think about your target audience first of all: create content which is interesting for your users even if sometimes it isn’t totally relevant to your niche

don’t ask users to buy something at once: do minimum of self-promotion and wait until they get to know you and start to trust
