After being a frequent reader on Medium, I reached a crossroads in my life when I realized I should stop consuming information and start producing it instead. I wish to express my viewpoint on this globe and the events taking on throughout the world. I made the decision to concentrate on writing for this platform.
"It's confusing to begin writing from scratch because there is so much writing guidance available on Medium. The majority of writing advice simply advises to "do it" or "write it down." To be completely honest, I detest such advise. It doesn't entirely aid me in my writing endeavors.
"Advice to "just do it" or "just write" only goes so far in convincing my ego that I'm competent and skilled at writing. However, it doesn't go far enough to fill the gap left by inexperienced authors wondering what they ought to have said. In conclusion, it's bad advise that you should heed.
The easiest way to compare it is to imagine being handed a compass in the middle of a jungle without ever having used one before. Despite having a tool to guide you out of the jungle and the surrounding area, you have no expertise of navigational techniques.
Your mind will be tricked by the compass into believing that you may escape, but in reality, you are stuck eternally doubting whether the direction you have chosen to leave the forest is the right one.
I understand it better by doing it than by reading, planning, or pondering. What we must all do is take action. However, as a novice, the most important component is what we should write. Knowing what to write about allows us to research and better understand our advantages while writing about particular subjects.
What should a beginning writer's first piece look like? Can I just write on Medium right away like a pro?
My first post on Medium was about life lessons, which are more like realizations or ways of looking at life than actual teachings. In my 20s, I learnt things that radically altered my life. I chose this subject since I was at a loss for words at the time.
I am unable to write on the spot on the greatest SEO or content marketing strategies. I don't have a lot of experience, and I've never taken a certification course. The image I'm going to project needs to be reinforced by actual talent. Not just a bluff.
The best writers on Medium who you read every day in your feed must have spent thousands or perhaps hundreds of hours writing. The author of the piece that was ranked first on Medium's trending lists must have produced at least 1000 other articles. You may have recently seen an item with a million views that had previously failed 2000 times.
They have most likely produced at least 1000 articles. Publish one or two articles per day for a continuous 365 days. writing content while always trying new things and never giving up until they succeed.
Last but not least, any renowned author who attracts thousands or hundreds of followers enjoys credibility due to the information and skills they have developed over time. perhaps five or more years. He or she can take the large following you can see right now and bask in the sweet victory right now.
Why do I shy away from writing on subjects that I haven't yet mastered?
It's easy to understand why. It's because I don't want to be labeled a con artist. People will stop believing in your writing and what you say once they realize that you are portraying an image that is not true to who you are and that the image you have worked so hard to create is entirely false.
Before we decide to share some information or knowledge, we need to have done the work or obtained a professional license. For instance, you must have the necessary expertise, education, and certification to write an article concerning legal proceedings or health advice because those two subject areas have the potential to have a significant impact on other people's lives.
Imagine writing health advice that turns out to be inaccurate. What if the individual who read your health advice put their trust in you and used your method? That person's life may be in risk. It might make the person's illness worse.
The same holds true for legal counsel. What if you provided the incorrect legal counsel? It exacerbates people's legal circumstances rather than assisting them in resolving them. When they shouldn't have, they file a lawsuit, incurring significant debt as a result of the trial's defeat.
You must consider the content you provide for your audience. I assure you. Please think about how your writing will affect those who are reading it before you start writing.
Select a subject that has room for conceptual and practical variation, and most importantly, choose something that won't negatively impact people's lives while still having the ability to have beneficial consequences. a subject without a common denominator.
If you could be more specific, Zidni, what kind of subject is that?
Well, I don't have a set way to write or speak on things like productivity, self-improvement, writing tips, ideas on how modern society behaves, short fiction, personal experiences, and life lessons. There are more things I could share, but they are already mentioned.
You might wish to write an essay about how TikTok is currently revolutionizing how young people live their lives. You might wish to create a piece of work that is entirely unrelated to your life but speaks a lot about productivity guidelines. Or you might wish to give advice on what to write when starting out to other novice writers. There are many different subjects to research and write about.
There are no established regulations for any of those subjects. not founded on precise facts. For instance, there are productivity rules that advise using time blocking, the 5 minute rule, the 2 minute rule, the 5 second rule, the 5 second rule, and other productivity techniques to increase productivity.
The optimal productivity strategy for you will only work if it complements your working style. You can use a different approach, such as the 2 minutes rule or 1 second rule, if you believe the 5 minutes rule method doesn't fit with how you work on something.
Being productive, after all, is about how you accomplish goals through actual actions rather than a particular strategy. The approach acts as a springboard or catalyst for how you approach the work. The information you want to produce must be adaptable in thought and action once more, and it must be founded on personal experience above all else.
