Chapter 1: The Journey of Online Writing

After completing my goal of publishing over 100 articles, I’ve gathered some insights that could benefit others embarking on a similar path.

Before diving into my "one article per day" challenge, I conducted research about the advantages of maintaining consistency online, particularly on Medium. The consensus suggested that daily engagement fosters growth, and I can attest that this has been true for me.

However, I also encountered a few beliefs that didn’t hold true in my experience. Here are three key takeaways:

• Visibility Matters: Just because your article isn't gaining traction doesn't necessarily indicate poor writing. The issue often lies in visibility. Several controllable factors can enhance the performance of your stories, such as the timing of your posts, the frequency of articles you publish daily, and the publications you choose to submit to.
• Connection Over Complexity: I've learned that stories which resonate with readers often employ straightforward language and address their pain points. Some writers, despite making grammatical errors, manage to attract significant engagement due to their relatable content.
• Quality vs. Quantity: While some argue that it's a 'quantity over quality' landscape, I believe that visibility remains paramount. High-quality articles are still valuable, but if they remain unseen, their impact diminishes. Some authors have experienced sudden boosts in engagement thanks to algorithm changes, but I haven't personally witnessed this yet.

Ultimately, my experience on this platform has been rewarding, allowing me to forge meaningful connections. While your statistics may not reflect your aspirations, the relationships built here can lead to valuable conversations.

For new writers eager to cultivate connections, joining active, emerging publications can be a game changer. Smaller audiences mean you're more likely to be noticed by fellow writers, unlike in established publications where your work may get lost in a vast array of content.
