What are the best worldbuilding strategies to use in fiction?

Asked by give_seek (1425points) January 24th, 2021

Hello,
I’m trying to learn the skill of worldbuilding in fiction. (Potentially fantasy, scifi, or speculative) What are the most important elements of a world that I should know in order to build it correctly? History? Magic? Political Structures?

There may be details that apply cross-genres. I’m especially interested in those.
