\section{Write Less.}
That is the first suggestion for "How to: Write".
If I wanted to really emphasize the point I would stop here, and after checking the Word Count (we have a button for that now), I see I'm already over 400 words. Not that there is a magic number, but the more concise (but still easily readable), the less an investment people have to make to read your work. This should be obvious whenever you see a 20 page review versus a ScienceShot about an \href{http://news.sciencemag.org/paleontology/2015/01/swimming-reptile-unearthed-scotland}{ancient Scottish reptile}. This is also one reason many scientists follow sites like \href{http://astrobites.org/2015/01/01/trending-exoplanets/}{astrobites} to keep up with the literature in their field.
So remember, make it as easy as possible for people to choose to read your extracurricular content. This could lead to fruitful discussions, more eyes on your scholarly work, and public outreach and engagement.
