I'm looking for writers who write somewhat consistently (blog posts, non-fiction, short stories, etc.) to try out a writing app and provide candid feedback - as a thank you, you'll have free access once it launches if you're interested in having it.

The app is designed to have a "writing room" feel, with different ways to draft, edit and plan, as well as a place to keep your notes, ideas and different pieces that might be at different stages together.

It isn't designed for fiction novels. If you're interested, leave me a comment or send me a msg, and I'll DM you a link!

I started a medium publication and I can't seem to grow it.

So it's a tech related publication and so far all the followers and writers are friends and people I know. But I want to add new writers. Is there anything I can do to onboard genuine writers and grow followers?

What if sexual desire is not just about reproduction - but also one of the mechanisms that keeps souls attached to the material world?

The largest randomized psychedelic trial in history happened in Brazil. Its strangest finding isn’t about ayahuasca at all.

I wrote my first article, my aim is to explain things without jargon and as simple as possible! Please give a read and then comment and like, if you feel it was useful!

same qn as above

Couple days ago, suddenly i got almost 180 views in a single day across multiple of my stories with like a singular read. Keep in mind i only have like 20 followers and the most views i had in a day was like 50 and that was with lots of reads with it. Has that happened to anyone else and any idea what is it?

Hey, I have started a blog for living life as a first time dad in his late twenties with an early stage heartfailure diagnosis.

The purpose of the blog is to help grieve my diagnosis and process my own thoughts by putting them down on 'paper'. If I can help one or two people along the way then this will be even more of a success to me.

If you know anyone with heartfailure this may help, or if you think it will help yourself then please take a look at this.

My first blog post covers the process of being diagnosed, how i felt upon recieving my diagnosis and how I now plan to accept these new changes. This may help someone similar understand what they may face if they are currently chasing a diagnosis.

Thank you :)

For those of you who write regularly - particularly essays, newsletters, blog posts, longer-form nonfiction, etc. - I'm curious about something.

What part of the writing process do you find most challenging, or experience the most friction around?

Besides coming up with what to write about, are there particular points in your writing where you tend to get stuck, lose momentum, procrastinate, or find it harder to keep going?

Basically curious which parts of writing present the most friction for you (getting started, drafting, developing an idea, returning to something unfinished, revising, editing, finishing, etc.)

Has anyone had good results with Medium articles getting indexed and ranking on Google?
How long did it take for your articles to start showing up in search results, and did Medium actually help with SEO?

Hii!! I’m new to freelancing side of writing and I recently joined Medium & began posting. Got enrolled in the MPP last month and have been consistently posting throughout.

I guess my reach is limited as I am a new account but one thing I have noticed is, how my hard work to actual money conversion ratio on there is basically outrageous. And as someone who is looking for a good side income (currently unemployed & desperately in need of a flexible remote setup) this feels like a journey I’m not going to benefit from much.

But I hear that people do make good money on there, not consistent, but for me, a good 200-300$ will do too. Right now? I made 0.83$ from my 5 articles I have posted over the last two months..

I don’t know what’s lacking? can someone tell me what I can do to build my reach and community?
