Whether You Dip Your Toes In The Water Or Jump Right In Medium Will Help You Write Yourself An Income
There were many ups and downs over the past year. Now that we’ve all filed our taxes, I look at how much I made writing on Medium, how far I’ve come in a short time, how I did it, and how you can as well.
“You can make anything by writing.”
— C.S. Lewis
Self-publishing on platforms like Medium or Vocal requires two things, persistence, and imagination. Once you have those two things nailed down you are on your way to self-publishing your stories. Why? Because everyone has a story to tell and the world craves that information, that connection, and that entertaining story from other people.
What’s the benefit of writing? Why should you write? The simplest answer is that you need to share your views, your wisdom, your experience, or your imagination. It’s a cathartic process that unburdens your mind from all the thoughts rattling around in your head. It helps you to get your opinion out there where it might be heard and appreciated. Also, there are benefits.
