Day 1 — Creating Google News Pages on Medium

As a huge fan of Abena Talks, I decided to experiment with my own Google News pages.

While I work on my KDP books…

I continue to read Medium articles and get inspired!

Recently the Google News page idea from Abena Talks really connected with me.

  1. I’m a news fanatic.

2. I spend way too much time reading the news as a distraction.

Local news, regional news, world news, political news, business news, and even some of those clickbait headline news when I feel like it.

So I decided to turn it into something productive!

Today was Day 1 of two Google News pages.

  • One article written for both.
  • Joined the Medium Partner Program for both.
  • And reading Google news for the next inspiration!

I won’t give them away yet — but feel free to guess and let me know what you think!

And if you’re not already a follower of Abena Talks, here’s her Medium page link:
