Answer 1

hammer out a few chords first on a guitar or something. then maybe go for lyrics, then develop the melody a bit. tidy up the song structure (verses, chorus's, bridges) last. lyrically, perhaps use personal stuff to keep it relative and give the song focus.

Answer 2

having a drive to make a song helps. The most important thing is to have a message that you want to send out, and then ask yourself why you want to tell everyone this message. when you have a few lines down start thinking about a hook and keep working from there. Put a few guitar chords to go with the melody and the rest of the band follows suit. Call MTV and tell them you suck (they'll put you on) and then shoot a video.
It's not required but I sugest using lots of mirrors and wearing suits in the video, it's kinda flashy and appears to "set you apart"

Answer 3

Ive been writin songs for 5yrs
all you need is a wide range of ideas in mind and be able to express them clearly on things people can relate to relationships,love,life.
before writing a song its best you have some knowledge of the tuning it always works for me ....
that way you get a rough idea of knowing how to present the song and concentrate on which words fit with which beat

Answer 4

You gotta understand poetry first off, when you understand that, then you can write a song.

And, write about your personal experiences - life, love, umm...anything else lol. Don't write about something you have no clue on =)
