Writing on Medium.com: 5 Lessons From A Top Writer

Thank you for the inspiration!

I wonder... what if I use the writing skills you teach for myself, as a form of self-expression, and then turn that material into podcast content? Would that be a good strategy?

Haha. It is exactly like you said. First Month getting haters I was heartbroken, even thought about deleting my account. But then I just got used to it.
It is actually good to practice not caring about every single person's opinion.
When you learn how to deal with that, it is like super powers hehe
Haters normally don't have a picture, either a real name, sometimes people write things only based in the title, they don't even bother reading the article before commenting.
Other times they try to practice their ability to disagree with something and they use your article for that. It is not personal.
They have never met you.
There are even people that go there to promote their business.
So, after some time. You know from who you should take feedback and from who you shouldn't.

Thank you for "Simple" and, "paying attention to what readers want." Helps with focus.

Thanks for the advices, you are an inspiration. I'm not native (I'm Mexican) and I really felt identified with all you said. I still learning but every day it becomes easier. Keep writing you are awesome, and thanks again for your advices. I hope some day we can read each other 😎

In fact a good writer is a good reader in my opinion. More you read ,more you can get ideas to write.

SO gad to have found YOU, Sinem. Clear and concise lessons, delivered with an athentic voice.

why do publishers want drafts on medium instead of my finished product. I don't have drafts.

Hi sinem, Would deleting non performing article will get more traffic?

If they don’t clap for my post but they leave a comment .. I don’t read it lol

Thanks to you I am going back to Medium after failing miserably. Just published my first comeback article minutes ago. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I am still new to Medium but for someone who don't really like writing, I find Medium addicitive. And the fact that the community is great, makes me want to write more.

❤love this message. Simplicity and just go for it getting the message out if your head onto the page. Thanks so much. Simplicity is the huge take away ❤

Thank you Sinem, my name is Kevin you are a true motivator I listen to your topics on Medium. Thanks to you I publish my first story on Medium you are my mentor.

Such great advice! Thank you. I meant to write a very short story, but it ended up being 13,000 words long - nonfiction. Will Medium accept a story that large? I am also using a "Pen name" and want to keep my contact info private. Can I do that on medium?

yes, that blank page is VERY hard to edit!!!😂

Great info re Medium. Thank you! I just started writing and publishing on Medium and love it. I’m looking forward to following you and reading your work. ❤️❤️

Thanks for sharing! I'm new to this so please excuse my direct questions! How do you research your stories, or are they just your own opinions from your own imagination and life experience? What makes you feel confident you have the authority to publish articles on your topics of choice? Asking from the perspective of a person that would struggle with these questions myself because I don't understand why anyone would want to listen to me because I'm just some random person on the internet and not an expert in any particular field.

I started writing on medium...do follow me and enjoy my article..

Thank you for the great tips. Write non-technical, just start, Keep it simple, Give value.
