To Fellow Writers on Medium.
Add Value by Understanding Medium’s Essence.
This piece is for the medium fellow writers out there.
It’s too early for me to land on a conclusion but based on my experience I am disappointed on what I have seen up till now.
May be guilty of it myself.
It’s that lack of understanding of the essence of medium which is rooted in the desire for the dollars on the dashboard to suddenly skyrocket.
What happens is that if we are driven by this desire we might compel ourselves to write which robs us off our creativity.
Which actually leads to articles that are based on facts or information easily available on internet which any one can approach.
Understanding medium:
If I put it simply:
What medium wants from us writers is to share our unique experiences on different issues which can add value to the life of others.
Its less about
How to be better at something?
and more about
How I became better at something.
It’s as simple as that.
Now the question that should pop in your mind is that what are essential ingredients which can actually help us to stick to medium’s essence and based on my experience I think these are mandatory
1) Write your heart out
2) Write about your life Experiences
3) Write to add value
These three are the most important elements to consider when you write.
Thanks for the read
Keep growing keep illuminating.
