Let Your Creativity Free in The Supportive Community of Medium

Why Medium is my happy place.

I am a word nerd, with a content writing business. Some people ask me:

“Why do you write on Medium when you have your own content business?”

The answer is simple.

I can write what ever I want on here. I am not restricted by a niche blog (like on my website), or by what my clients need.

Don’t get me wrong. I love my blog, and I absolutely love working with my clients. But sometimes it does get restrictive. I have so many ideas racing around my head…the folder on my Google Drive with hundreds of unfinished articles and ideas can attest to that. They need an outlet.

Medium gives me an amazing platform to stretch my wings, to embrace my creativity and write about what ever takes my fancy.

It is not just about being able to write whatever I want, whenever I want.

Medium has an amazing community of people.

When you find the right community you can really accomplish anything! And the peeps here (well, most of them) are about support, lifting each other up and celebrating our achievements. This is what keeps bringing me back, day after day after day. (I am looking at you Abena Talks…one of my most vocal supporters)!

When you have amazing writers calling you out in stories (like in the one below) it not only gives you a thrill…it helps other people see your stories too!

It is this sense of community that sets Medium apart and that, I believe, keeps writers here. I know that there have been many changes the last year or so and people have become disillusioned with Medium at times…but focus on the community! Bring it back to that supportive and nurturing environment that has helped launch writing careers, grow side incomes and plump nest eggs.

Embrace your creativity and get writing

Medium has people from all walks of life, of all different writing skills and and levels of knowledge. You can find a tribe you vibe with here, no matter where you are from or where you are going.

I write on Medium because I love that I can turn whatever is on my mind into words that people read and engage with. I enjoy the creative outlet, and the fact that I can earn money from something I love doing.

Everyone has a story inside of them. Are you ready to tell yours?
