Of course, well directed practice is important. However the problem appears when people begin to search for simple and effortless methods to make quick progress. Instead of listening to advice such as "read all these good books to improve your vocabulary and write more to get used to this activity", some people would rather go for advice such as "use these apps to help you get more article ideas" or "always think of the audience and what they want" or "SEO is key, you need nothing else", hoping those will quickly boost up their skills and numbers.
