The Greatest Value of Medium
An appreciation for the platform
Reading articles on Medium is by far the highest-quality learning online.
There is no other platform with so much direct and valuable knowledge. Writers have a deep understanding of their topic and have prepared and researched for hours before publishing. Medium is the perfect combination of academic research and personal experiences. They blend into a perfect way to provide a joyful and productive read.
Entire skillsets are put into the making to produce the best possible work, and the world can now read it. Articles come from the heart. Writers strongly believe that they will help someone else by sharing what they have learned.
Academic learning online is indeed valuable, but Medium is on another level. Getting your Diploma is one thing, but improving your life on every level is priceless.
Paying $5 a month and you have access to around 30,000 writers who have all backgrounds imaginable.
You can learn anything. How fascinating is that?
But the greatest value lies somewhere else . . . the people on Medium.
The Writers and the Readers
Writers and readers share a passion for knowledge, which I was missing from my social life. Joining Medium, I am meeting new people daily who have the same drive to excel in their life. They want to make a difference with their work and share that energy with the world.
My passion for learning on Medium developed into the thought of becoming a writer. But, I thought that I don’t have a chance to make it as a writer, given English is my second language, and I have no writing experience. The more I read on Medium, though, the more sure I felt I wanted to start writing, so I did at the beginning of November 2020.
It's been less than a month, and I have developed a passion for writing. I work hard on each article, and after publishing, I always look forward to writing my next.
Along the way, I’ve discovered amazing personalities on Medium that have inspired me. Through their work, people who have excelled in personal development work and make a meaningful change to our society. I’ve met writers and readers who have supported my first steps and have provided constructive feedback on my first articles.
The feeling of progress, even small, is the key to keep going.
Every day I read, learn, write, and enjoy the Medium community's interactions, which elevates the entire experience.
The Future at Medium
I don’t know if I’ll reach 100k followers one day and make a living from writing.
What I do know is that writing has something magical about it. I plan to continue being part of this community in the long run.
If you are considering becoming a writer, start right away without second thoughts. If it’s meant to be, you will very soon get attached to the process. Don’t think of money or reputation. These are the cherries on the cake.
There are two core achievements that can be attained by writing on Medium:
- Developing yourself through the process
- Helping others improve their lives through your work.
That is priceless.
Happy writing!
