Know what kind of author you are - do you write best by plotting out your book into chapters, or do you write best by just sitting down and just writing. Whatever way makes you most productive, don't try and change yourself.
Read a lot of books in your genre as this represents what readers want. Do be successful in writing beyond completing a story, you have to understand what your readers like. You will still have your own author's voice that makes you unique, but know your genre.
