Writing Tips for Medium Posts
Write with clarity and more people will read your posts.
Here are five key writing tips for writing on Medium as well as books, blog posts, social media posts, videos, podcasts, etc. (excerpted from Indie Wisdom):
Replace tired words and dull repetitions with simplicity, clarity, and consistency.
Keep your notes at your fingertips and focus on one thing at a time: write, or edit, or organize, or read.
Your mind will overflow with ideas you might use later. Store the unused gems in your idea stash so you can safely clear your head.
Good nonfiction is interesting yet simple. Use strong, direct words. Remove unnecessary filler words, adjectives, jargon, fluff, and clichés.
Write with fire in your fingertips. If you constantly interrupt yourself, you’ll never get the work done. Editing comes later.
Trade publishers divide marketing efforts between hundreds of titles. A self-publisher gives attention to one book for years.
The above tips have been excerpted from Indie Wisdom, an 89-page booklet with the following motto: Words are free. The supply is unlimited. Sell yours.
