5 Simple Tips to Win Top Writer Award
A light-hearted glance.
Medium’s Top Writer award is given to writers who consistently publish quality content that resonates with their readers and demonstrates their expertise on a particular topic. While there is no guaranteed formula for becoming a Top Writer on Medium, here are some tips that may help.
Consistency is key when it comes to building an audience on Medium. Try to publish new content on a regular schedule, such as once a week or twice a month. This will help keep your readers engaged and coming back for more. Do not publish as much as I do, however. It is found that level of output can actually confuse some readers who think a lot of writers on Medium are named Don Martin and wonder if they should change their name to that, as well.
Quality. While it’s important to write regularly, it’s even more important to write well. Make sure your content is well-researched, well-written, and adds value to your readers’ lives. Avoid clickbait headlines or puff pieces that provide the story with lots of links but no real value.
Niche. While it’s possible to be a Top Writer in multiple topics, it’s often easier to gain traction if you focus on a specific niche. Find a topic or genre that you’re passionate about and that you have expertise in, and then write articles that demonstrate your knowledge and insights. Making up a new tag doesn’t work.
Engage with, but do not aggravate your audience. Respond to comments on your articles, engage with your followers on social media, and join Medium’s various writing communities. Building a community of engaged readers and fellow writers can help boost your visibility and increase your chances of being recognized as a Top Writer.
Patience. Becoming a Top Writer on Medium takes time and persistence. Keep writing, keep engaging with your readers, and keep improving your craft. With hard work and dedication, you may eventually earn the recognition you’re seeking.
