The Way We Can Support Each Other On The Medium Platform ….And Additional Writing Platforms

Writer to writer help each other grow

Supporting each other through our writing journey we can create green lights on a road for each other.

Writing is not easy to do for many people. It takes time, practice, patience, and the ability to be vulnerable and share a part of yourself with the world.

What type of writer are you? ✍

There are many writers out there in this world. Some people are only writing for the money. Some people enjoy writing and the income that comes with it is also nice. Some people write because it builds a community around them and they enjoy writing and sharing with others. Sharing knowledge and expertise including education and technical writing is another important way to write. Storytelling to pass knowledge and experience to future generations is a beautiful way to share your writing. As a writer, you might share fictional and non-fictional stories with your reader.

How can we help each other? 📝

1. Reading each other’s work
2. Sharing each other’s work with others
3. Promoting other writer’s work
4. Elevating other writer’s work
5. Encouraging each other
6. Posting responses to other writer’s work
7. Following other writers
8. Subscribing to notifications from other writers
9. Highlighting other writer’s work in your writing

✨What can you do to help other writers on the Medium Platform

1. Read their work fully and scroll down to the bottom. This will allow capturing the read and they get paid that you have looked at their article. Do not speed read. Take your time and enjoy the content.
2. Highlight sentences you like. This will help the writer know what you enjoy reading.
3. Respond to their work. You can also respond more than one time. respond to multiple areas you like or create one larger response. Multiple responses meaningful increase the visibility of the article.
4. Share the writing on other social media platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Quora, YouTube, and whatever other platform you use.
5. Promote other writers’ work by embedding their articles in your article or tagging them and recommending their work to be read by others.
6. Recommend at least one article to read from another writer when you write an article on Medium. This helps build support and community for each other.
7. Only write supportive comments when you respond. If you have nothing nice to say then do not say anything.
8. Write articles about other writers and their work with their approval of course. Some examples would be this article highlighting Bingz Huang and her books and this article highlighting Neal Lemery other articles included highlighting DR Rawson - The Possibilist and an article highlighting multiple editors in Dancing Elephants Press. Another article and one more highlights Dr. Preeti Singh. I was introduced by Illumination as a writer in this article.
9. Highlight other authors’ books and review other authors’ books. An example: My book Darkness and Light from 2021 was reviewed by Dr. Preeti Singh and Dr Mehmet Yildiz. Our book with 21 Medium authors Holistic Journey Toward Health was reviewed by Leonard Tillerman. The reviews are in the book become part of the book and also used in marketing.
10. Create a list of articles you like to read if you do not have time now.
11. Visit your favorite writer’s pages and read articles that were published months and years ago as well. Many writers have hundreds of articles it is nice to read older ones to provide support. It takes a lot of time to create new content.
12. Become a Medium member by using your favorite writer’s affiliate link. This will give your writer an extra $2 per month.
13. Give a tip to your writer by using the tip options they enlisted at the bottom of their article or the one they signed up for through Medium. It is a nice surprise to get a tip for your hard work.
14. Provide supportive feedback through private messaging.
15. Do 50 claps each time you read an article.

✨How can you support other writers in other writing and social media platforms?

1. Share each other’s work on social media.
2. Write a review of other’s writers' articles and books.
3. Comment on other people’s articles and books.
4. Be familiar with the platforms your favorite writers write on and publish and support their work there. Platforms can include but are not limited to Vocal Media, Newsbreak, Facebook, Linked In, Instagram, Quora, Twitter, Substack, and YouTube.
5. Buy other writer’s books, audiobooks, and articles.
6. Sign up as a subscriber to your favorite writer’s platforms and follow them there as well. This does not mean that you have to read everything they write but on many platforms, you get paid based on the number of subscribers you have.
7. Write a book review for your favorite authors on Amazon, Barnes, and Noble, Goodreads, Gumroad, or any other platform where they sell books. The more reviews the higher ranks when someone searches for a book or topic area o Google.
