Hello fellow writers!!! We are in the same boat.

When you know that you want to write on Medium. You must know the reason why you want to write on the platform.

And it’s normal if you don’t know why you want to write. you can sit and ask yourself. Make a list of the reasons that are important for you. Put that list as a sticky note on your mirror. There you go!!!

Once the right mindset is in place. Here are the 5 things that can help you establish yourself as a writer on medium.

1. Content idea dump

Always keep a notebook handy. Handwritten notes work best for you. But you can use note-taking apps if you like making notes on mobile.

The idea of keeping a notebook handy is for keeping all your content ideas in one place. So that you can reach them and add anything to them anytime.

You can make a flowchart, and draw a brainstorming section on your notebook.

Don’t be extra smart and try to remember every idea that comes into your head. Instead, write it down on paper. Shrug off the extra weight from your shoulders and allow yourself to be creative.

2. Don’t judge yourself, if you’re biased

You’re naturally inclined towards a subject or a social issue. That’s totally fine. Your interest can be your next article. Yes, it’s a win-win.

You will not have to spend much time researching the idea. And you’re more likely to know about the subject deeply enough to talk about. And you can write nonstop about your favorite topics.

If you’re struggling to find your ideas of interest. Just do one thing. Analyze the type of content that you like to watch on YouTube randomly. It can be about anything to everything. Be it confidence, beauty, mindfulness, etc. Just pick it up for yourself and start writing.

3. Make a commitment

Yep, you heard me right. Trial and error is a great way to monitor your progress.

Stop overthinking and take action. You think I’ve got an idea. I don’t know if it’s gonna work or not. but the only way to check the idea is to implement the idea.

Either You’ll fail with a reason or you’ll pass with a distinction. But the only answer is to Take action

Once you have the above-mentioned process in place. Make a special corner for you to write. Set a daily routine and make it a habit.
