3 Tips I Would Give to Anyone on Medium

Don’t ignore these tips

Throughout publishing articles on Medium, I have noticed that I need to change how I go about things to continue publishing articles. It was not easy, but it eventually became worth it.

Tip #1: Identify a form of writing you like the most

I never realized until submitting my first article to Know Thyself Heal Thyself (a publication on Medium) that I love Poetry. I finish writing poems in 20 minutes, and it all came so naturally to me. Not only was I able to publish my article faster, but I enjoyed writing the poem itself. It feels good to know that I can adapt to various forms of writing. Like poetry, there are many forms of writing like fiction, comedy, non-fiction, and history. I highly recommend you give new forms of writing a try, and who knows, you could even be a pro at it.

Tip #2: Don’t think about Stats and Money all the time

I know this is a hard one. Many of us would love to make money for the hard work we put into writing our articles. However, if you tend to look at stats and money all the time, it is easy to get demotivated and therefore lose interest in writing. There will be days where not many people will view your articles; that is a part of life. Then, of course, there will be days where your article will have many views. Just continue to write every day, and you will realize that stats and money will simultaneously go up.

Tip #3: Be consistent

A key thing to remember when writing in Medium is consistency. It is always a pleasure to see writers posting every day or every week. Not only does this provide readers with a variety of articles, but it also allows you to improve as a writer and build your follower base. Even if you can’t post articles every day, try publishing one article per week or bi-weekly! It will be worth it!
