This exact strategy worked for me and it will for you

I set a goal for myself at the end of last month that I was going to become a top writer in a category, at the end of the month I checked my Medium profile and noticed that I had become a top writer in social media.

Safe to say, I was pretty thrilled. I asked for something, worked hard for it, and got it.

Being a top writer is something I have always wanted to do, it’s easier to become a top writer than you think. There’s certainly going to be a lot of competition in your niche no matter what your stories are about. If you want to become a top writer, there are 3 easy steps to fulfill that goal and become a top writer sooner than you think.

Truth is, being a top writer is more about bragging rights. You don’t get an increase in pay by Medium and it’s only there just to look pretty in your Medium profile bio.

It’s really not all that important.

Still, it’s an accomplishment when you become one. The elite and most followed writers on Medium like J.J. Pryor and Samra are top writers in many different categories, so you are definitely taking a step in the right direction once you become a top writer in a certain category.

Now you’re probably wondering, what did I do and what steps can you follow to be a top writer on Medium?
