People sleep on Medium but it remains one of very few platforms that pays you for your work in a way that gives you autonomy. It’s simple — you can write about whatever you want, whenever you want.

You don’t need to get behind a camera. You don’t need to buy expensive gear. You don’t need to spend hours editing.

Instead, you can open your laptop, sit down for 30 minutes and write.

I’ve been writing on Medium for 4 years and it’s changed my life. In that time, I’ve collected unconventional ideas that have helped me grow.

And it boils down to one big idea. Let’s get to it.

The ‘you’ problem

I, like many people, struggled to grow on Medium in my early days. I didn’t know what I wanted to write about, I didn’t understand many things about the platform but my biggest problem?

I didn’t understand myself.

Authenticity is by far and away the best strategy when it comes to creating content. Long-term, it’s perhaps the only strategy that will keep you going.

Let’s unpick how you find the problems that you are best suited to write about.
