Max Out Your Medium Writing Advantages And Earn More
Put the pedal to the metal and write a lot
There is all kinds of competition in this world, in every single profession.
That’s a fact.
If you want to succeed in any field, you need to figure out your skill set and try to match it against the good and great candidates in that arena.
Interested in doing a sport? Okay, well, you better have a lot of skills if you want to progress to the point where you can get paid to play.
Interested in running a business? Many millions have tried before you and so you better have a seriously good business plan if you want to last longer than six months.
What about doing work as a writer and earning money? It’s not easy, so you know, and if you have to bring a lot of commitment.
The Medium platform makes getting started relatively easy. The rest is up to you.
In my experience, success on Medium comes down to writing regularly, getting better, and engaging with other writers. All of these factors are very important.
Plus, there needs to be a major time commitment on your part. Spend time monitoring the minutes or the hours per day that you spend on Medium, and then ask yourself if you can do more.
Your Advantages
Beyond the basics that I just mentioned that you need in order to get plenty of views and earn good money, there is another thing that you should think about and use regularly.
You yourself have advantages when it comes to writing.
“No way," you might say.
“I can’t think of any advantage," you might add.
Well, I am here to describe some advantages that you do have. Those are your personal life experiences that are not the same as many other people.
For example, some women may perceive certain things differently than men, either generally speaking or very specifically. This may seem obvious to some people, but there is no way for me to know how it is different because I am a man. That is one advantage that you could have.
The next step is to use that advantage and to put it on your writing. Explain how you perceive things.
For some, dialogue and conversations are incredibly important because of what is conveyed through language. For others, body language is crucial and should be described and analyzed to understand what is happening in a relationship. If so, try to write about that using what you see as important.
What other advantages do you have in comparison to others? Some have years or decades of life experience that they can use for stories and content.
For example, what have you learned in life about how to sustain long-term personal relationships? What did you do to convince somebody to marry you? How did you survive difficult times?
Success and making money often comes down to utilizing your distinct advantages to make yourself or your business successful.
Here are some other advantages that you could have that can make you a successful writer:
- Discipline
- A competitive nature
- Raw writing talent
- A passion for other writers
- A strong desire to connect with and learn from other writers
- A love for writing
- Creative passions
- Specific talents or skills
If you want more success as a writer, you might consider using some or all of your individual advantages. Even if you are not yet a skilled writer, your other advantages can take you far and can lead you to success.
Some people are highly competitive. If you have that plus a burning desire to write content, those are two powerful advantages that can take you far.
Spend some time today reminding yourself of your advantages and how you can use them to find success. Write them down and put them on the wall. Be honest about them. And when you need a boost one day, look at your list and grab the confidence that you need to write content and earn money.
