Chapter 1: Introduction to Earning as a New Writer
Starting as a new writer on Medium can present significant challenges, particularly when it comes to making your first $100. Many newcomers often find themselves overwhelmed with the platform's various features, struggling to select the most engaging topics and connect with their audience. Additionally, choosing the right tags can be a daunting task. It's common for new writers to feel disheartened when their articles are overlooked by major publications.
However, what if I told you that entering the $100-a-month club is achievable right from the start? Imagine being able to earn as much as $1000 monthly without depending on prominent Medium publications or curation. Let’s dive into the details.
Know the Importance of Consistency and Patience
The first principle to grasp is that consistency and patience are vital in the writing journey. Expecting rapid results is unrealistic. Initially, you might see minimal views and reads, which is completely normal. I encourage you to push yourself to publish two articles daily or a minimum of ten stories each week. By doing so, you can see significant results without relying on curation. Focus on your intended audience while crafting your content. If your readers enjoy what you produce, you won't need to cater to curators or editorial teams. With around 50 quality articles under your belt, you could potentially earn up to $10 a day, depending on your audience and the narratives you choose to tell.
Focus on Crafting Eye-Catching Titles and Subtitles
I've noticed some writers neglect the importance of subtitles, which are just as crucial as the main title. I highly recommend creating engaging, distinctive, and thought-provoking titles and subtitles. Keep your subtitles concise, while the title length should be appropriate to your content type. One effective strategy for generating compelling headlines is to analyze the titles and subtitles of popular Medium articles. While you can find inspiration, it's essential to create your own unique titles to build trust and foster connections on the platform.
Keep It Simple
It can be frustrating to encounter articles overloaded with internal and external links, as this can detract from the reader's experience. New writers should prioritize simplicity. If you want to link to another article or direct readers to previously published work, limit yourself to one or two in-text links rather than overwhelming them with multiple links throughout your post. Avoid unnecessary affiliate links and refrain from excessive self-promotion. When visitors land on your page, they should see you as a writer offering valuable insights, not just a marketer.
