Write Something Profound
This is the Best Way to Grow Your Audience
Write something profound. Who knows what is profound to someone else? Is it a topic in the news today? Is it something someone said a while ago?

How we select our topics is just as important as the topics we select. The point here is there are events happening in our daily lives that are worth hearing your perspective on. Some of these events shape our thoughts on how we interact with others in our society.
You have the ability to explain why we do what we do and why we react to things the way we do. That’s the power of writing. But when you take on this responsibility, just know there is power in your fingertips.
We want to learn what your thoughts are on the matters taking place around the world. You’ve got the power. Write something profound. We are waiting.
