If I Want To Become a Top Writer in 90 Days, Here’s What I’ll Do

Becoming a top writer isn’t as easy as it seems. Much goes into it, from consistency to committing and commenting.

A top writer tag is essential when writing on Medium.

Becoming a top writer and earning a dedicated tag for your content helps readers recognize the value they can gain from your articles. It sets you apart.

However, becoming a top writer is no easy feat. It requires dedication, consistency, and active engagement, such as committing to writing regularly and leaving thoughtful comments.

Having written for five years, I’ve developed techniques that yield immediate value. Whenever I write, I apply these strategies to gain more recognition quickly. Here are four things I would do to become a top writer in just 90 days:

1. Don’t try to do the right thing

When starting, you don’t know what’s right for you.

You must test the waters. Look at the categories you get engagement from and look at your comments. Data always tell you another story. Fun fact, you get responses for things you’re good at.

If you’re good at tech articles, you’ll get recognition for that.

Decipher the data and locate it down to the article that got more views. Now replicate this process until you have 3–5 viral articles to look up to and find the common points in those.

For me, the common point was sharing my experience. This enabled me to understand what works for the vast majority of readers.

Along the way, you’ll learn things, for example, things that work and things that don’t. Don’t be saddened by that. The data is just trying to save you from making errors.

2. Tailor your title to say one thing at a time

An effective title is a showroom for your article.

If your title speaks about a lot of things at the same time, it speaks about nothing at all.

So, limit your information sharing. Target one thing at a time. Cover about one thing at a time. Don’t go overboard, thinking more information would mean more views for the articles.

Avoid overwhelming readers with too much information, especially when starting on a new platform or niche. Keep your titles impactful and concise, conveying one clear message. Write the title first, then refine it to ensure it conveys a single focused idea.

Say less, but keep it impactful. What I do is write my title first before writing the article, but in the end, I come back to the title, make some tweaks, and generally change how it sounds.

As always, you must say one thing at a time.

3. Use relevant but acceptable tags

Tags work differently on platforms.

Tags like AI, medical science, etc, are not common on Medium. Medium has a more generic and generalized approach with tags, for example, politics, self-improvement, marketing, and more.

When you target one tag to become a top write-in, use generalized tags. For instance, tags like curiosity, poetry, and life lessons complement each other well. Similarly, tags like psychology, meditation, and productivity go hand in hand.

Be wise when targeting tags.

Medium gives you the opportunity to show your article on five tags at a time. If chosen wisely, you can end up diverting traffic and hence boosting your ranking on all top five.

Select appropriate tags that are widely used and accepted by the Medium community. These tags are commonly chosen by people when they initially sign up on Medium.

4. Treat every post like an opportunity to go viral

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of consistency. When you post regularly, you reach a point where you have an audience.

Everything turns out fine for everyone because all of us started with 0 followers. All of us started with nothing. We converted nothing into something.

Don’t look up to people and compare your journey with them — things work out differently for everyone. Write everything in a way you believe will go viral, and put forth your best effort.

Most writers on the platform are still learning — they don’t know what ends up going viral. On big platforms, stats, and traffic curate blogs, and that’s what you need to know. The more you post, the more you get your chances of going viral.

As Sun Yui, a Twitter content maker, said:

“People with more followers than you are NOT more charismatic, articulate, attractive, or smarter. They just got the balls to post more content than you.”

Final thoughts

Start your journey with discovery and end with consistency. Let the research and data predict your path.

For every writer, there is a reader — don’t forget that.
