What should you write about?
|
Hey Reader, Over the last 4 years, I've worked with thousands of writers, and one question I see beginners share all the time is this: What should I even write about?! There are many ways to decide what to write about, but I'll share a simple one today: Write what you care about. One of the wonderful writers I got to work with this year is Melon Dash, an adult swimming instructor. I was lucky to meet Melon in person back in June and have a deep conversation about her work and what writing means to her: Melon has been a swimmer since her childhood and has been an educator for decades. She founded the Miracle Swimming School to change how adults learn to swim, and regularly shows up on tv to talk about her expertise in teaching how to overcome your fear, and thus learn swimming with ease. When I met Melon, she taught me her 5 Circles concept. It's a fascinating framework that applies to learning anything in life - not just swimming, and I highly recommend you check out this brilliant video: Melon is talking and writing about swimming because she can't not talk about it. It's her mission to educate as many people as possible on the topic, so fewer people have to suffer from the consequences of not being able to swim. She's been speaking about the topic for years and has even written a book about it. Yet, she's new to the online writing world, which is why she joined Medium Writing Academy earlier this year. Melon is taking her message to new platforms because she has a deep desire to help more people. She cares so much about her message that she can't keep it to herself. That's one way to decide what to write about: Think about what you can't not share. What's important to you?
What's going wrong in the world?
What do you want to change so much that you can't stop speaking about it?! Next week, I'll kick off a brand new opportunity to help you share your message with the world. It's perfect if you've been thinking about writing on the internet for a while but haven't taken action yet. I want you to get out of analysis paralysis and finally put your work out there so people can learn from your experiences, expertise, and your unique way of looking at the world.

Hey Reader, I became a full-time writer in 2020 and have since written any kind of content you can think of: Personal stories Listicles Reports How-to guides I also worked as a freelance/ghostwriter and published dozens of pieces with and for my clients. And while I love the diversity of being a digital writer, there's a specific type of content I like to write most. It's case studies. I love to be in the trenches with my audience, try new things, run experiments, do research, and report back...
Hey Reader, I don't know about you, but I'm more than ready for the weekend. I had a busy week full of exciting conversations and video recordings for a brand-new program we're currently building for you. I can’t reveal much about it yet, but I wanted to share a tiny sneak peek of a wonderful interview I recorded for this new project: Watch Now Whether you’re brand-new to online writing, struggling to grow your audience, or chasing the next big goal, I hope this 4-minute clip gives you a...
Hey Reader, How are you? Like, how are you really? 🫶 Emotions and noise have been high across the internet this week, which is why I decided to remain rather silent the past few days. Well, that and the fact that I've hosted daily Coaching and Onboarding Sessions for our newest members at Write • Build • Scale. 😅 If you've been following my work for a while, you might know that I've always been a huge believer in community, feedback, accountability, and peer learning. That's why we've been...
