In order to create a strong password, it is important that it be at-least 15 characters long, or else someone could brute force attack your password and get into your account in a matter of minutes. It is important to throw in random characters to make your password harder to guess. Switch cases, add numbers, and make words out of symbols. Do you really hate inventing a password? Do you have a great memory (or have a great spot to write passwords down)? Use a password creator, you can edit setting for the number of digits, characters, and toggle case. http://strongpasswordgenerator.com/ is a good exmaple.
Do you want to be more secure with your random passwords but can't remember them all? Use lastpass, which allows for one master password for all of your sites. It also syncs across computers and devices, so you can use it on your smartphone.
-this is a very useful guide, i personally have tried all of it :P
