Hey Reader, Quick question: Did you ever feel like you're too late? Too late to start to write online. Too late to build your own business. Too late to get in shape. Too late to fix certain relationships. Sound familiar? I spent way too much of my time worrying about being too late instead of just moving forward and embracing opportunities. When I started to write on Medium back in 2018, I thought I was too late to the online writing game. I saw all those writers with massive audiences and was intimidated. But I was also too curious to give up! Even though I had no idea how to write great stories, build an audience, or monetize my writing, I was curious to learn. 🧐 I wanted to figure it out because I loved the idea of building a business that'd allow me to spend most of my time sharing my ideas and knowledge on the internet. 🛜 And I learned that being early is overrated. Being good at what you do is the real deal. You're not late. You're just in time to build an audience and share your message with the world this year. But the truth is, building an audience & online writing business is both easier and harder than ever before. ✅ It's easy because so many people have already done it and are sharing their lessons, strategies, and best practices with you. ❌ It's hard because there's also a lot of nonsense advice that's keeping you stuck. As someone who's been in this game for 6 years, I can say that Medium is hands down the best platform for new writers - and here's why:
🔎 Better editing = More readers One of my tasks as a writing coach and publication editor on Medium is to help writers edit their work. And if I'm honest, editing is a superpower that most writers miss out on. If you don't know how to edit your work, your writing will never be as clean, clear, and compelling as it could. I just recorded a video to share the 5 questions I ask myself when reviewing and editing Medium stories:
The purpose of these videos is to help YOU, so I'm excited to hear what you need right now. 🥰 I'll be back in your inbox next week with some pretty exciting stuff that I've been working on for a while. ✨ 👋 Want more?

Hey Reader, I was born in May so it's always been a special month for me but the older I get, the more I learn to celebrate me because I realize that life's too short to be busy, grumpy, envious, or resentful. But this month is also special because we recently kicked off a live cohort of my signature program, Medium Writing Academy, and we have tons of exciting live events scheduled! It's been an absolute pleasure to meet dozens of talented and curious writers in our first calls and receive...
Hey Reader, for most people, this is a normal week. For me, it's nerve-wracking for two reasons: ☝️ Taylor Swift is releasing a new album on Friday. ✌️ I'm hosting my biggest-ever LIVE Masterclass on Thursday with more than 1,500 writers who have already signed up! I'd love to pretend I care a lot more about the Masterclass than about Taylor Swift's music, but I'm a horrible liar, so let's say that I'm VERY excited about both. 😅 Seriously: I only host this Masterclass once per year, and it's...
Want to know how you can share your message with millions of people by writing online in 2024? Write on Linkedin & Twitter/X (?!) Do dancing videos on TikTok/Instagram Offer ridiculously cheap writing services on platforms like Fiverr Write whatever you want And publish your unpolished work every day Voilà - that's your path to.. a disaster. 😅 Seriously: It breaks my heart to see writers and creators wasting their time on ridiculous strategies and platforms every single day. Here's the truth...
