Overcoming Challenges
Call For Submissions: Overcoming Challenges the First 6 Months on Medium
How was Medium for you during the first 6 months?
We are looking for articles that shed light on the biggest challenges new writers face in their first 6 months on Medium. The topic is: Overcoming Challenges and the main tag is Overcoming Challenges.
In a few weeks, we are going to reach our first 6 months as new writers on Medium. We thought that many people have gone through the same learning curve during their first 180 days, trying to figure out what works best on establishing a recognizable name among Medium writers.
Our aim is to gather around and talk about the ways most of us have tried in order to overcome the first 6 months' challenges. We’re looking for articles willing to tell a personal story and reveal the pain points. We are not looking for the perfect approach but for true stories with a personal approach.
There is no wrong or right answer, just real humans trying to overcome the not as easy as expected publishing environment of Medium. The main question is:
What are the biggest challenges you faced in your first 6 months on Medium as a new writer?
And some subtopics you may want to cover:
- What you wish you knew and have done differently during your first 6 months on Medium?
- What advice would you give yourself & others regarding the best methods and tools?
- Which was the best writing advice that helped you achieve your writing goals?
- Do you believe that there is a golden shortcut to get noticed by major publications?
- Which Medium writers influenced more your first steps?
