Sure! I break it down by first looking at my own goals. What is an ideal job for you?
For example, if my goal is to work remotely for a new startup and wear many hats and advance quickly, then my cover letter will be completely and entirely different than if I applied to an office job, butt in seat, with a large corporation.
So, I'd start with examining your own goals and work from there to do the needed research (such as, finding companies that you want to work for, job descriptions you think you'd like to do a job, etc), then you can mirror your online personal branding along with your approach to the job (if needed), which is the 2nd step.
Once you figure that part out, then you'd be able to move onto the last step, which is styling your cover letter and getting more granular.
I have tons of tips, but they only apply to what my niche is, which is working remotely for small tech companies. So I can't really help you if that's not your end goal!
HTH!
