Thomas Smith saved the day. Struggling writers need to read his article Medium Is Building a Monetized Alternative to Twitter.
The more time I spend on Medium, the more I realize the only legit way to build an audience and make a few bucks in the process is to write a ton. Like, every damn day. That doesn’t mean publishing every day; it means writing enough to have something worth publishing. But it’s hard to strengthen the writing muscle as an overthinking perfectionist.
Today I found the answer. Shortform posts provide an easy way to cut through the resistance. Like a tweet, the limitations work to your advantage. You can use them to become a prolific writer, powered by the critical skill to say something valuable in the fewest words possible.
See you tomorrow, and the day after that. And 28 more.
