How I write my articles on Medium
The D.O.E.P. technique
The D.O.E.P. technique is a technique that I have created myself to optimize my writing style and save time.
It has helped me to immensely increase my productivity and help me write almost an article each day in a row.
The D.O.E.P technique:-
D:- Dump
Pick a topic and write down absolutely everything you know about this topic that you have chosen.
The order doesn’t matter, the idea is to just write down whatever you know.
O:- Organize
Now create a chronological order of what you are trying to write.
For example, start with a brief introduction, then link it to a personal story and then link it to your main point and end all of this with a succinct summary and CTA (call for action).
Make it logically coherent and have a clear and concise structure.
E:- Embellish
- Varied writing style — Exploit medium text features.
- Storytelling — Make the story more human-like by adding some sort of personal story.
- Less paragraphy — Our brains are hooked to short form content.
- Pictures — Visual stimuli at regular intervals or new topics to hook the readers.
- Simplicity and intuitiveness of the article — Avoid too many technical terms and strive to make it easily comprehended by a wider audience.
- Literary devices — Use metaphors, onomatopoeias, especially when storytelling to make it more engaging.
P:- Publish
Publish in:-
- Publication or
- By yourself on your page
How the D.O.E.P. technique helped me:-
After implementing the D.O.E.P technique, it helped me de-stress my life.
I just dedicate a mere 1 hour and I already finish 2 articles by that time. Not only it de-stresses but also saves something even more precious than money:-time.
