Chapter 1: My Medium Experience
Are you finding Medium less fulfilling than you'd hoped?

Initially, I joined Medium with the aspiration of blogging to express my thoughts and feelings. I envisioned myself akin to Carrie from ‘Sex and the City,’ thrilled at the idea of sharing my perspectives with the world and showcasing my poetry. The potential to earn some money was merely a bonus.
In those early days, I was captivated by the plethora of remarkable articles available. While interacting with fellow writers was part of my plan, it wasn’t my main focus at first. However, when my creative flow dwindled, I shifted gears and opted for a more informative approach to my writing. This was never my original intent, but I discovered a newfound enjoyment in researching and presenting articles on topics that could enhance both physical and emotional well-being.
Yet, I made some critical errors. I became so engrossed in producing content that I lost sight of the original purpose of my journey: to read, engage, and share. The most significant lessons I've learned since my enrollment in January 2024 are that engagement is essential not only for success but also for a more fulfilling experience. It's vital to practice reciprocity in this space.
Another key insight is that while discussing topics related to health and social care can be valuable, the most important aspect is to write from the heart. Keeping my writing passionate and humanistic fosters a deeper connection with readers, allowing them to resonate and empathize with my experiences. This highlights the true worth of Medium, which extends far beyond monetary gain.
I won’t overlook this lesson again!
Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts.
