4 Writing Skills That Will Make You Stand Out From Other Online Writers
And build a loyal audience that eagerly awaits your next piece of content
If you want to be a great writer, you’re going to need a handful of valuable skills.
I have been writing since November 2023. During that time I read dozens upon dozens of articles for some of the well-known writers here on Medium. Those whose names are familiar to you like Alex Mathers, Nicolas Cole, and Sinem Gudel.
They all started like you and me.
What made them so different to stand out and be successful?
One thing they did right was to focus on the right set of skills. And I’m going to show you 4 of the most important skills you need to make your stories stand out.
Skill #1 — Specificity of language
Lack of specificity means your writing doesn’t resonate with anyone.
Look at your writing and try to find where you could go more specific. The goal should be to give the reader instructions on exactly what to do. This will give them a sense of ‘value’.
Get so specific that it starts to get uncomfortable.
