Make More Money on Medium — The Best Articles for New Writers

I wish I had this list of resources when I first started

Image by author via Canva.com

When I started writing for Medium, I was lost. There were so many rules and guidelines to absorb, so many conflicting ideas bouncing around in my head.

I didn’t know how to properly format a title, much less write a story that went viral.

Before ever posting anything on Medium, I read voraciously. I stumbled across some crazy helpful articles. I kept thinking to myself, I wish I had somewhere to collect these articles for later reference.

So I created this article.

In this post, I want to share with you the best articles for new writers on Medium.

The articles are in no particular order, and they cross some similar territory. Read all of them anyway. They take different angles of the subjects, and any repetition will help you gain deeper and longer-lasting insights.

If you’d rather start with a video, here’s one that I made about what you should do in the first 24 hours after you join Medium (don’t worry if you’ve already passed 24 hours. These tips can still help).

The Best Articles for New Writers on Medium

In this section, you’ll find the 10 best articles about how to write successfully on Medium. Take the time to read and digest them.

Each one offers pearls of hard-earned wisdom from successful writers on the platform. Along the way, you’ll learn of resources and tools to generate story ideas, edit your work, and maximize your efforts.

You’ll also find motivation, inspiration, and perspective.

Final Thoughts and Takeaways

I hope that you enjoyed those articles. Each one deeply impacted the way that I approach writing on Medium.

Here are a few practical takeaways:

  • Study up on Medium. Study successful writers. Study Medium guidelines. Study publications.
  • Write as much as possible during the first few months. Several times per day if possible.
  • Write quality content that is between 5–7 minutes long. Don’t force myself to always stick to these rigid timeframes, but definitely shoot for them if it makes sense to my topic and content.
  • Write great headlines that get attention without being clickbaity.
  • Write great introductions that pull the reader into the story and down the page.
  • Keep readers engaged by “laying down the gold”.
  • Use basic SEO.
  • Submit stories to publications (small, medium, and big)
  • Write in various topics at first, watch your stats, and then make more posts about higher-earning stories. Rinse and repeat.
