My #1 writing tip as an editor & Boost nominator on Medium

Hey Reader, This email is all about helping you grow your audience and income by becoming a better, more effective writer, and I'll start by sharing a brand-new video that I just released:
In this video, I talk about things like:

And yet, my perspective on writing and editing has changed when I started to run one of Medium's largest publications last year. As an editor of Better Marketing, I review dozens of stories each week. And I reject most of them because they don't meet our guidelines and quality criteria. Even though I'm wearing different hats as a writing coach, editor, and Boost Nominator, my goal is always the same: Helping writers get their work seen. And the #1 change I request when I review drafts is usually the same: I'll tell writers to dig deeper and go the extra mile for their readers. When you give advice or educate, tell your reader exactly what to do. If you want to stand out & have a chance to reach thousands of readers on Medium, you have to go the extra mile by being more specific, clear, and useful than most writers. I know it's not always easy to implement tips like these - that's why I've recently been working on some exciting resources to help you become a top writer and grow your audience online. But I want to make sure I only send those resources to writers who are interested. If you're interested in growing your audience and income by writing online this year, reply to this email with "Writing" so I know you're interested. This is also relevant if you're a brand-new writer with zero previous writing experience - we have special resources for you! 😊 Big love from my screen to yours, 👋 Want more?

Hey Reader, I'm on vacation right now, but as a ✨ responsible creator, ✨ I typed this email when I was at home, so all I had to do was plug in this stunning photo and press send: As we've already made it through almost half of European summer, I want to share an idea that I've been talking about for years: Summer is the perfect time to tap into content creation, grow your audience, and test new ideas. Most people are lazy and busy during summer. They have to take care of their kids, are on...
Hey Reader, I've worked with thousands of writers over the past five years, and even though every writer's journey is different, many of us face the same struggles. One of them is idea generation. Even experienced writers can sometimes feel stuck in a creative rut and experience writer's block. Click here for a new perspective on how to constantly come up with great content ideas. 🖍️ I'm in week #2 of publishing Notes on Substack, and my excitement is still high! After nearly a decade of...
Hey Reader, most of the emails I send you don't have a clear theme or topic, but today is different. This week, I want to encourage you to allow yourself to show up as your authentic self. When we start to publish our work online, we're usually afraid of being judged. And to minimize the risk of being judged, we pretend to be someone we're not. We put on a mask to be professional, smart, or cool. But you know? The easiest way to stand out and share your message with the world is by being you:...
