In today's episode, I go over five quick and easy tips to get started writing on medium.com so you can finally launch your freelance writing business!

Top Tips to Being a Successful Writer on Medium

There's never ever been a better time to build an online business and to just start writing than right now. It just takes that first step. I love writing on Medium.com and connecting with readers. I recently paid my mortgage with my earnings from Medium and want to share the top tips to being a success on the platform. 

1. Just Start Writing 
Quantity will create quality! 

2. Submit Content to Publications
This will get your writing in front of new readers!

3. Follow Medium Guidelines to Get Curated
Being curated means that Medium shares your story with their audience on social or in an email! You must follow their guidelines though. Find those here

4. Understand Your Target Reader
Write to them. Always be thinking, what's in it for the reader? 

5. Have Fun
If writing becomes a chore, you are not going to want to invest time into it.

Don't forget, Freelance to 5K (my signature freelance writing course is closing on 5/31 at 9pm PST). This is my step-by-step strategy to start and grow a freelance writing business. 

This is the EXACT process I've used to earn over $100,000 writing online in two years. Get my secrets and speed up your success!

Plus, there's a bonus training all about crushing it on Medium ($147 value) that's yours when you enroll.
