2) Content is the key.

Let’s talk about the content you will be posting. Before that you need to select a topic on which you are going to write an article. So, what are the topics you will take into recommendation? Of course, find a topic which users want to read and would enjoy spending their 3–4 minutes or more into your writings on that topic. Please follow all the guidelines from Medium before selecting a topic, as your topic should not cause any disturbance to any one on this planet.

So select a topic which you are interested to write on. Select a topic in which you have a brief knowledge about the content. As you will not be writing something you have heard for the first time in life. Write a content related to your field of interest or things which you have been studying for a descent amount of time. For example If you’re a politician you would be writing things related to politics, your experience in that field and so on.

It is not recommended for a politician to end up writing about computers and different things related to mathematics, an engineer will be required to do so. The point over here is to write only when you have a brief knowledge about something. As your writings will remain dull if you yourself is not knowing what you’re writing about.

So let’s sum up everything, firstly select a topic you are interested to write about. You should have some sort of knowledge about the topic to write. Don’t select a topic you are hearing for the first time, do some research to just correct your facts. So start writing to express your knowledge, not just to fill up the page and also try avoiding grammatical mistakes. In the next step we will discuss how you can maximize your earnings and keep going till you achieve what you need in life.

3) The goal is to become consistent regarding your writings.
