Medium Recognized Me as a Top Writer in Social Media.

And it means a lot to me.

As a new writer on Medium, I did not expect to be recognized as a top writer in such a short time.

Nonetheless, I guess my contributions to the platform using YouTube videos as my content and tagging social media allowed me this recognition.

As I mentioned in this article, I qualified for the Medium Partner Program only three days ago, an important milestone for me.

However, since I joined Medium, I started reading several stories a day, at least ten stories a day as a commitment.

As advised by Dr Mehmet Yildiz, I also meaningfully engage with the content of other writers who provide me with valuable perspectives.

In addition, each story teaches me new styles and contributes to my knowledge.

The key contributing factor for being recognized as a top writer is to understand the key points from the inspiring article of Dr Yildiz.

He conservatively says three months to become a top writer on Medium.

However, from my experience one month focused writing in a specific tag following his tips suffice to become a top writer. I link it here so that new writers like me can gain valuable tips.

I also follow some top writers listed in this collection.

After receiving the email from Medium, I noticed that my profile shows social media in my top writer status. It also indicates my new publication Illumination on YouTube in the profile.

Seeing top writers like Tim Denning in the social media tag on Medium inspired me. I started exploring engaging stories of Tim, who also lives in the same country as me. I hope to meet him face to face one day.

I owe my success to readers of my humble stories. Therefore, I am grateful to my followers, readers, and subscribers on Medium and YouTube.

I will continue writing about social media and creating videos featuring writers on Medium. I also plan to add educational videos from the information I gain on this platform. Creating by learning is a valuable activity for me.

I love writing, but unfortunately, my time is limited due to full-time work and part-time study. Despite all, I plan to allocate an hour a day to write stories on Medium.

In addition, I recently started a short-form series introducing the videos I created for the writers on YouTube. These short-form stories do not take much time. Here are the two introduction of top writers.

1 — Have you met top writer and editor Dr. Preeti Singh yet?

2 — Have you met top writer and editor Dr Michael Heng yet?

My next goal is to start a series about my photography work. In addition, I plan to write articles about the practical use of YouTube for writers and bloggers. Finally, I want to pass along my knowledge and skills to beginners as a give-back activity.

Here are the introductory videos I created for top writers.
