Medium Writing Reflections

Writing on Medium has become my hobby rather than a way to make money. I don’t have a writing niche I write mostly about having a disability and I overcame obstacles to receive multiple college degrees. When I began writing on medium i didn’t know nothing about writing online and didn’t know what to write about. I learned a lot from my follower writers and started using their writing techniques. If you make engaging headlines it will drive readers to your stories. Wilson Burrell showed me that if you add writers to your articles you will get more claps.

Joining Facebook Groups is a good way to boost getting exposure to your medium articles. When I am promoting an article I usually used a group called Medium Writers — You have to clap back! where you can get some engagement. This support group requires you to clap back if somebody post on your comment.

Finally I strongly feel that you should write what you are passionate about and you should not write about something which is trending. I think you should always write about something that you are passionate about, so you could write thousand stories related to your niche.
