I'm going to let you in on a secret: I wasn't always as into writing as I am now.
In fact, for the first few years of my career, I struggled to put together coherent sentences that didn't start with "So…" or end with "…you know what I mean?"
But if there's one thing that can change everything about how you communicate with others (and yourself).
It's learning how to write well. That's why today we're going to talk about how Medium can help your business.
Whether it's a blog or not—and how you can use it as an outlet for good writing:
1. Read, read, read
The first step is to read a lot. You can learn a lot from other people's blogs.
And not just about how they structure their content or how they write their titles.
You'll also be able to see what works for them, what doesn't work for them and why that might be the case.
The next thing you should do is set up your own blog on Medium (or any other platform) and start writing regular posts there.
Even if no one reads them at first! Writing regularly will help improve your skills as a writer over time.
Which in turn will make it easier for readers to trust you when they come across something new from you later down the line.
2. Figure out your voice
The next step is to figure out your voice. What does it sound like?
How do you want people to feel when they read your content?
Are you going for a fun and lighthearted tone, or would a serious approach work better for you and your business (or both)?
If this sounds like an overwhelming task, don't worry. We're here to help!
In order to define the best way forward with Medium, first think about what kind of content works best as part of your overall marketing strategy.
Then take some time thinking about what makes sense for your audience and how they might interact with it.
3. Remember what your readers want to know about your business
Now that you've got a handle on what Medium is and how to use it, let's talk about what you should write about.
First off, remember that your business is unique.
So what works for one company may not work for another.
The key here is listening to your readers and writing about what they want to know.
You can start by listening in on conversations around industry news and trends or asking friends who work at other companies.
What people ask them most often about their jobs (this will help give some context).
If there's anything specific they always ask themselves but never get answered, look into answering those questions!
Once you have an idea of where their interests lie, think about how best to deliver this information through stories rather than just facts or figures (don't worry too much about being perfect though; everyone makes mistakes).
For example: maybe one day someone from my team will get sick from eating bad sushi during lunch break so we all need new insurance policies.
But until then I'll keep eating raw fish like nothing happened because life goes on no matter what happens next...
4. Start writing regularly
Now that you've set up your account, it's time to start writing. The most important thing when it comes to blogging is consistency.
If you write once or twice and then disappear for two months, no one will be checking back in on your blog.
And if they do happen upon your site before then, they'll wonder what happened and possibly leave disappointed because there's nothing new for them to read!
So how often should you post? That depends on how much time and effort (and money) you want to put into this project.
If all goes well and everyone loves what they see from day one, then maybe once every week or two is fine for now.
But if things don't go as smoothly as planned (or even at all).
Start off by posting more often than once every few weeks: twice a week would be ideal.
So readers have something fresh each time they come back again after a break from reading other people's posts on Medium.
During their lunch break at work or school days off where there isn't much else going on besides watching Netflix shows while eating snacks.
While lying down sideways across bed sheets covered with crumbs from chips eaten earlier without washing hands first because who cares?
Just kidding! Don't do any of those things... but especially not last one because germs are gross!
5. Don't be afraid to ask for help on Medium!
The forum is a great place to ask questions and get help from other Medium users.
You can also reach out to the community through your profile page, where you can see who's following you and view your followers' activity by day, week or month.
If none of these options work for you, post a question on your blog itself! Readers will be happy to offer their advice in the comments section below each post (and so will we).
You can use Medium to build an audience that loves your brand as much as you do.
If you've ever thought about starting a blog, Medium is a great place to do it.
You can use the platform to build an audience that loves your brand as much as you do.
In order to get started with blogging on Medium:
Read, read, read! The best way for writers who want to improve their craft is by reading other people's work (and listening when they tell us how they did it). Reading helps us figure out what works and what doesn't so we can apply those lessons when writing our own content.
Figure out your voice and remember what your readers want from it! Writing style is important because it helps readers recognize what kind of experience they're going into when they click through from Facebook or Twitter links in their feeds; finding one's "voice" means finding ways of communicating effectively while also being true-to-self enough not feel like an imposter when putting pen/keyboard down each day (or week). Remembering why someone would choose yours over another site where similar info could be found will help keep things interesting rather than boring - which happens too often with businesses whose sole purpose seems only tied up in selling themselves rather than serving others first by providing value through content creation instead."
