How To Succeed On Medium With What Really Works
Five popular pieces of advice that aren’t total BS.
How many articles have you read on Medium offering advice on how to write killer articles that get views, curations, and the admiration of your family and peers?
Chances are pretty high that you consumed a few dozen of these articles during your first month or two here and found that not all pieces of advice were equal. Some worked better than others. Some portions of advice didn’t seem to work at all.
I’ve been a subscribing and contributing member of Medium since December of 2019. Longer than some, not as long as others. I’ve written 140 articles. My curation rate is between 50% and 60%. I’ve published in The Startup, The Ascent, The Writing Cooperative, Illumination, The Innovation, Cambium, and a dozen others.
I’ve got some chops.
Not the most immense chops, but pretty good chops. Chops that show a lot of growth potential if I have the patience and determination to stick with it.
So… laying all that out, I feel I’m qualified to write my own Writing-For-Medium advice piece.
What’s my angle?
Looking at some of the more popular pieces of advice handed out that aren’t bullshit.
