Once upon a time, in the bustling world of online content creation, there was a platform called Medium.

Known for its vibrant community and diverse array of stories, Medium was a haven for writers seeking to share their thoughts and experiences with the world.

But one day, a writer tried to write AI-generated content, and guess what?

As the writer’s AI-generated articles began to populate Medium’s pages, they noticed a lack of engagement and connection with readers.

The stories, while well-written and informative, lacked the emotional depth and personal touch that readers craved.

But why?

Medium is not for AI-generated content; Medium is for storytelling with a human touch!

If you want to write effortlessly and engage with your audience, try these tips:

  1. Master Medium Formatting: Use the built-in tools like the “+” sign for adding media and the quote icon for block quotes. Remember, simplicity often shines on Medium.
  2. Embrace Imagery: A blend of visuals and text elevates your content’s impact.
  3. Embed Content: Easily include tweets, videos, and more to enhance your story. But keep it balanced — too much media can overwhelm readers.
  4. Boost SEO: Customize your title and subtitle for improved search visibility.
  5. Expand Your Audience: Share stories that resonate with a broad audience and consider syndicating content from your own blog. Submit your posts to relevant communities for increased exposure.
  6. Establish Thought Leadership: Back your story with data and engage with other thought leaders on Medium. Address significant topics to build credibility and attract a wider audience.

And the best tip!

Write Only What You Know: Writing only what you know enhances the quality, credibility, and impact of your work, leading to greater reader engagement and lasting influence.

Remember to set clear goals for your content and don’t hesitate to experiment with new techniques.

Happy writing!
