Things You Should Do Before Your Post Your First Blog on Medium

Things That I learned.

Before embarking on your first blog-writing journey, there are several essential tasks you should complete to set yourself up for success.

Firstly, it’s crucial to identify your target audience and determine what topics or themes will resonate with them. Something i failed at!

I try to write about topics that I wasn't really passionate about. I went form one topic to the next. Which is nothing wrong with that. As a writer you want have a niche in something. Bouncing around can be daunting when you don't have a plan.

I notice that some medium writers conduct thorough research on popular keywords and trends within your niche to ensure your content is relevant and optimized for search engines.

Its no wonder why some writers on the platform has a nice amount of claps

Additionally, creating an outline or mind map can help organize your thoughts and structure your blog post effectively.

Prioritize conducting in-depth research on your chosen topic to provide valuable and accurate information to your readers. Your title should be very engaging!

Something i learn very quickly. I notice my titles, some not all, were good. I also notice that my retention wasn't always good. So make sure your content can cash the check that the title wrote.

To enhance your writing skills, consider reading blogs from successful writers in your field and taking notes on their writing style and techniques.

Finally, proofread and edit your blog to ensure it is error-free and polished before hitting the publish button. Something I fail at all the time.

By time i publish an article. I would notice so many errors! I rush my blogs because i want to a nice number of articles to be published. Remember it's good to focus on quality over quantity.

By completing these essential tasks, you will be well-prepared to write an engaging and informative blog that will captivate your audience on medium.
