By and large, I’m not a fan of articles about writing on Medium or Medium in general. From what I understand, Medium isn’t either. Yet, these types of articles proliferate the platform.

So I don’t write them anymore. And I rarely read them.

That said, this July marks my 48th birthday and third full year writing on Medium.

Because I have big plans for the second half of my life, I have been especially grateful for Medium lately. Thanks to the success I have seen on this platform, I have been able to shift my freelance writing business. From one where I work and write for other people (private clients) to one where I mostly write for myself (specifically, on the two best platforms online — Medium and Substack).

This shift to the closest thing a writer’s gonna get to self-employment will — if all goes as anticipated — facilitate the aforementioned big plans.

With this as a the backdrop, here are the pieces of advice I consider most important after writing pretty much day in and day out on Medium over the last three years.
