Getting started with writing on Medium is not easy. Let’s face the truth.

If you are an experienced writer on the platform you’ll agree with me. It can take weeks or even months to get to know the ins and outs of building a community here as a writer.

Some writers got to learn these norms the hard way, and some even got into some kind of trouble with other writers just because they were new and did not know how things were done.

Medium is not like other social media platforms. Things are done very differently here.
