Every new year brings a good opportunity to initiate something you had always wished to do. This year, 2023, is again a great time for taking off your writing spirit with some refined strategies that can turn out helping you fulfil your dream of writing and embracing the audience with the presentation of your ideas and knowledge.
You could be a beginner or someone who is a regular writer with a pretty amount of audience. This article will offer a few amazing tricks that will help both of you. You can use them to regulate your writing habit and/or expand your ability to creativity in writing, and offering more type of contents.
i. The first very basic thing is you have to set some small goal for yourself. Don’t be hesitate listening to goals. You have to start with the simpler and easier ones that can be easily achieved and will regulate your writing habit. Like, set a goal for your writing life in 2023 as:
I will write 36 articles this year → 3 articles each month: 1 article every week with one week as week off each month.
Even though the first line, “I will write 36 articles this year” seems big to you, let me tell you, if you see, it is not 36 in a single day. It is rather just 3 (which is a small number in quantity) in a month. We can make it even easier by considering the smallest unit task: One article every week for 3 weeks in a month and 1 week holiday or your wish, write it or don’t.
This is a simple yet powerful strategy which is going to make sure:
A) You will write at least 36 numbers of articles in 2023.
B) You will write 3 articles every month in 2023.
C) You will definitely write in various genre as the number is 36 and all articles, obviously, will not belong to the similar topics (there is no problem in case they do, this is all about you!).
With the above mentioned outcomes, you can be sure that your regulation in writing is going to improve if you manage to keep on working on this assigned task every month this year. By the end of this year, you will probably find yourself motivated enough toward writing more articles next year.
ii. The second strategy is to set some genres each month. You can decide your genre either every month or every quarter or in the beginning of the year itself. You can opt for the topics & areas you are interested in and enlist them for the initial months to keep the beginning smooth. Gradually, you can research and optimise what else you can write on depending on your areas of knowledge, upcoming events & celebrations in your nation, culture, history or anything.
The idea will go as:
Select any 3 genres for the first 3 months →Decide what else from the genre you are going to write on this month at the beginning of the month itself→Start research & work.
This is a task that eventually can bring you:
A) An expansion in your ability in writing on different topics.
B) You will make sure to offer more content to your audience.
C) You will have an idea about the topics preferred by readers or most audiences that will help in deciding future content to grow more readers for your work.
D) As you write about different areas, you will gain knowledge in different areas as well.
iii. The third and last strategy, is not about writing an article. You may be surprised to know but the strategy is:
Read some articles frequently → Leave comments when you like any article & request them to check out your articles.
This is an important part to keep up with to help you grow your audience. With reading articles of other contributors while working on Medium:
A) Gives you ideas on what topics are popular and where the current scope is.
B) Your articles may get checked by the other readers & authors by good comments and requests you leave.
This idea can be useful as there are many curious readers who might like your articles.
