Start With a Story Backed by Results

What a lot of writers don’t understand is that a well-written title can be the difference between an article getting ten views or going viral.

— Art Bram

I can imagine you telling yourself — There has to be a catch somewhere. Art doesn’t know me from a hole in the wall. Why is he offering me all of these suggestions for free when he could have just as easily kept them for himself?

— Jeffrey Keefer, Ph.D.

Let’s face it — you are likely reading this article for one of two reasons.

You may want to do something beyond your regular 9–5 job, perhaps to generate a little more income, dip your toe in that entrepreneurial area, or because you keep thinking to yourself, “Hey, I can do that!” Perhaps you find yourself reading too many of those articles of others who have had amazingly, near impossibly, done just that, and you think, “Why not me?”

— Mary DeVries

The pressure to write a good opening to a story about good openings is so strong that I’ve been staring at a blank screen for the past five minutes. Perhaps that’s why I was so enthralled with the opening to Steve QJ’s story, “Anti-Racism” Is Becoming Troublingly Racist. I marvel to watch a master at work.

— Regina Clarke

Have you been in the middle of writing a story and suddenly come up with a better idea? Or maybe you felt bored with your story and wanted to toss it? Perhaps you showed your draft to someone and their response was lukewarm?

— Zori Ivanova

You’re going for it! You’re giving this writing thing a real try — finally!

You’ve created a new folder on your computer and have labeled it “My writing”. You’ve started staying late, scribbling down story ideas. You may have even jotted down some writing goals in your phone or diary. Slowly, the creative force inside of you is awakening.

A smartphone is a powerhouse of resources these days. Along with the by default usage, most of us use smartphones to attend online training, seminars, set up tasks and reminders, respond to emails, connect with the community, etc. Being a mom, I have a tough time going over to my laptop to work. Moms got to get kids to eat their meals, do their homework, handle their meltdowns and cater to their other interests along with her own activities.

— Maryam Merchant

I am a beginner, and for the beginner, it’s very important to get into different publications. As we don’t have a lot of followers so to introduce ourselves to a huge bunch of people its necessary to land our article into a distinct publication.

— Bobby Powers

This past year I’ve been devouring advice books from fellow writers.

By far, the best writing advice I’ve found is Stephen King’s book On Writing. King shares stories that shaped his writing career while offering practical advice for writers and other creative professionals.

— Casey Botticello

Many Medium writers are looking for exposure. While making money from the Medium Partner Program is a nice bonus, they primarily want their content to be seen and accessible.

— Ben Conway

A few years ago I decided I needed some help to push my writing career forwards. I had been telling people I was a ‘writer’ since I had left school, but the reality was a little different. My writing was sporadic and unfocused — I was one of those people with a hundred half-finished drafts and almost no completed pieces. And I was always distracted with big questions: What type of writer was I? Was I any good? How should I be writing? I needed some advice.
