Medium Writers Who Have Helped Me Improve
Resources and advice that I have followed to become a better writer on Medium and beyond
When you are a new writer on Medium, it can be overwhelming.
You dive in full of enthusiasm, writing your heart out on whatever topic comes to your head. You publish and then you wait, filled with anticipation.
Nothing happens.
You write another article, and then another… and another. It’s hard at this point to not take it personally. Only then do you realize that there is more to Medium than simply writing.
There are millions of writers on Medium, from all corners of the world, and they all want the same as you: to be a success.
In this vast colony of hardworking talent, you are an ant, newly arrived, vying for attention when you have no experience and don’t properly know how things work.
And if that’s overwhelming, the number of articles on Medium offering help is even more so.
There is an astounding number of articles that promise to help you be a better writer and making money on Medium, but I quickly discovered there are few that offer any concrete advice, or give proper guidance.
