Want to be successful (Writer)? Stop listening to amateurs and professionals.

I see plenty of articles on Medium on how to be successful on Medium as a writer.

There’s plenty to learn — to be successful here. But we won’t learn all of them in a day or two. We want to learn it quickly. So that we can be successful soon.

We look for different methods and practices. Because you don’t have one in the beginning. Or the one you have in the beginning might not be giving you the results you expected. Because the duration is not enough to see the results.

Eventually, we want shortcuts. A plan you can copy from successful writers. An already proved plan. So we usually look for them.

Maybe that’s why there are plenty of articles on how to win on Medium. Ironically, 90% of them were written by beginners — not a successful guy.

Amateurs share experiences. That’s their individual experience. We can’t expect the same result as they got. It may look promising to give results, but it is not —at most times.

We need to get the average result of numerous cases following the same method. Just because a method shows results in one case, it doesn’t mean it is proven to work. But sadly, this is what most articles talk about.

Say, I have 1K followers here. I followed some methods. But this method doesn't have to work for you. It worked for me, because my niche, my writing, and my existing fan base are different. I may share this…
