Everyone thinks they can write online

But most new writers are completely invisible.

They’re posting on 13.5 different platforms. And they’re getting ZERO eyeballs on their work.

I was in that exact same position in 2022 when I first started writing on Medium.

New. Unknown. Invisible.

The hard truth? Your writing strategy is probably garbage.

Not because you don’t have the talent. But because you’re making all the predictable mistakes that keep you from getting noticed.

Let me share what works and how to go from “just another voice” to “sheet, who is this?” — even if you’re starting from scratch.

Stick to this one thing

Nobody pays attention to the guy who writes about everything.

I see many people here make the same mistake. And that’s why they’re struggling to build an audience. One day they write about their dog, and another goes on a rant about politics.

If you’re not known for something, you’re forgotten.
