One Easy Way to Make More Money Writing on Medium

This is an easy thought. This can and should be done more frequently by most new writers, and all writers who feel discouraged.

Short and sweet…

Copy.

I did not say plagiarize. Copy. Imitate.

Find a writer you like and admire, one you would judge to be currently successful.

Look at the way he or she writes. The way he starts and the way he ends stories. Look at the subjects and topics. Look at the structure. Look at the length.

Look at the CTA. GO LOOK AT HIS WEBSITE, if there is one. Diagram the flow and work like you used to diagram sentences in school.

Never copy the words. Copy the process.

Then keep polishing it until it feels smoother to you.

None of this makes sense when it’s first heard, but as you do it, your writing will go through great improvements.
