A great article . Absolutely fall in love. I am a beginner and first time i am writing on the Internet. Your post given me some unique perspectives and encouragement.
I found the Unique Writing Proposition headline intriguing and was looking forward to it, but failed to see it in the content following schedules and platforms.
I probably overlooked it.
Great suggestions and motivation for "still a newbie." Thank you 😊
Ha, you're the second person mentioning this - I was thinking about writing an entire piece about the Unique Writing Proposition and now I know that I should! 😄
Love the encouragement here and the timeline concept and all that went with it (micro timelines, themes, defining and impactful moments) jump-started my brain. I hopped over to my notes and fleshed out a few ideas like a newsletter about my life called "I Have No Friends" and one about my somewhat hidden alter-life as a mom raising an autistic son, thinking I'll call it something like "Autism Shmautism" 😆. Anyway, great article for this beginning 50-something writer who's working on finding herself again and learning the ropes of this beast.
The idea of creating a "timeline" of my life to find unique stories and a strong message is brilliant!
I can't wait to try that exercise and see what hidden gems I discover about myself.
Thank you so much for sharing
That's a really useful exercise, hope you'll enjoy the process, Jenni! 🙂

😄😄😄 .... then I didn't imagine it! Lots of excellent suggestions.
After chatting with Philip, I am starting to think about how I (or if) can add Medium to my mix.
I'd be happy to hop on a call anytime & help you figure out how to best do it! 🙂 Shoot me a dm if you're interested!
Just might take you up on this!
I'll keep you too accountable :)
I've heard a lot of negativity around Medium recently. Good to hear you think it's still a platform worth writing on.
I'm glad you found this useful, Wendy! :) I wrote a lot about it recently. This might be interesting too: https://substack.com/@sinemgunel/note/c-66216786

I'm so glad this was useful, Tammi! :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts & all the best for your writing journey!
I've worked with children and adults on the spectrum for years. I sympathize with your struggles.
I was in your Medium Academy about a year ago. So glad to see you here. I need you!
Your final conclusion was just spot on. You strengthened my beliefs.
And overall, it's a clear message on what I should be doing.
Thanks for sharing.
I don't have any hacks, I know there are people who have those things figured out, but I'm not one of them. However, Medium recently added a bunch of new countries to be supported in the Partner Program, have you checked the latest updates already? https://blog.medium.com/weve-added-77-countries-to-the-medium-partner-program-827a574fcdf0
