Find Your Own Sound.
It is very easy to fall into the trap of writing a song that mysteriously sounds like every other song out there. Be original. Be you. Try to find and develop your own musical sound.
Don't Be Afraid to Experiment.
This will help you find your own sound. Songwriting is often an ethereal miracle borne of the cosmic aligning of the stars combined with a spate of genius--so it sometimes seems. Experimenting with songwriting can take you in musical places you never knew you could go.
Play to Your Strengths.
Once you know your strengths and your musical sound, work to develop them. Become a specialist in that genre. You don't need to be a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to writing music.
Lyrical and Musical Originality.
Writing the lyrics is just about as important as writing the music. Together, the lyrics and the music are the song . You need both, and they both need to be original and unique.
Persevere. Don't give up. So many songwriters are still writing music only because they never give up; they didn't listen to the naysayers.
