How to Start Writing on Medium (2024) Medium Article Writer Tutorial

How to get started with the medium. In this step by step tutorial I'm going to be showing you how we can create some amazing articles starting from scratch

So let's get into it. So guys the very first thing you need to understand is that nobody, really nobody knows how to actually write a thing

You don't have to worry about if you didn't study this subject, you don't have to worry about if you don't know any kind of topic

Almost anyone these days can create a blog, an article so it's really easy to get started

The very first thing we want to do now is to go into medium.com and here to get started

So what we want to do is to go and join the medium, sign it up with a little account, a Facebook or an email

In my case I want to actually sign up with my email. I'm going to input my email and hit continue

Once I have successfully added and verified my website, my actual email, it's going to be asking of our full name

So here what I want to do is to type let's say Brian and Crane and I'm going to leave it like that and hit into create account

So let's dig in here. The very first thing that I want to show you about the medium is to actually start with your profile

So as almost any platform is going to be asking about your interest so it's going to be more easier to help you with getting the tools

and the right blog so you can start being influenced and inspired to add yourself

So in our case let's focus into writing, let's focus into the technology and let's focus into design

After that hit into continue. Then it's going to be asking for the actual navigation. I'm going to hit into ok I got it

And you can see that there is a for you page, the following, the design, technology and writing

So this one appears depending on what is the subject you just choose. In our case we choose these three of them and you can see the for you following

This one is going to be filled depending on what are the actual people that you are following

You can connect your Twitter account if you wanted to but we are not going to be focusing on that

For example, if I go with the let's say for example Christina Gadd speaking about design, I'm going to look out for something else actually

I'm going to scroll a little bit down, let's say the Prince, this one and if I like the content of this guys I'm going to hit into the follow section

So now this one is going to be appearing into the for you page and the following as well

I'm going to go back here in the medium section and the very first part and now you can see I have the for you section where there are people related into the one that I just subscribed

And the following it's only with the person that I just followed which in our case is Mr. Prince

Now in order to get started with writing you want to go into the very upper side and you want to choose the option that says right or if you want to actually let's say that become a little bit more featured into medium.com

You want to choose into your profile and you want to personalize your account for example the home section, the about section and all of that

After you finish that you can always go into great and we can get started

What is up with getting started? As you can see it's really easy to get started by creating a blog, creating a website, creating an article, it's always the same deal

We have here the title, we have the tell your story and there's a plus button that appears in here

So speaking about your very first article you don't have to be worrying about that

Let's say that I do want to talk about my own space in the 2022, my own space in the 2023

So tell your story, this is just an example. So once I do have, let's say that I just written something really really easy, if I hit into the enter mark you'd be seeing this plus button

If I click this option it's going to be appearing different tools that can be added into my actual article

For example I do have the gallery, I do have the add and emit from unsplash, I do have the add a video, I can add a nbm code, a code blog and lastly I can add a new part

So if I want to add a new part it's going to be corrected with three dots and I can add something else, some different type of else here

Now select text to title formatting, add headers or create links. If I choose next for example here it's going to be appearing all the different tools that I can be using to actually customize my actual website or my article in this case

Once you are familiarized with all these elements hit into the X marks and we can start to work

And now let's talk about the icebreaker. So if you're just getting started with the article and you actually don't know where to start you don't have to worry about that

Let's say that you just want to focus into just one subject. For example let's say I'm going to type here, I'm going to go and look out for something really really easy to talk about

For example Apple vs Android. There we go. So I'm going to delete this, I'm going to have actually let's say iPhone vs Android and here I can start the subject

So what I want to do focus is introduce three elements in order to actually just provide my arguments here into the article

So I'm going to go and add those for example here I have the article number one which is the introduction

Now into the introduction what I want to do is to focus into what is the main subject and why do I care about this article or this subject

Now the number two is going to be the body of my article

Here into the body I want to say, I want to just express my own opinion

And if you want you can add more sources, some more sources for example

And lastly I do have the conclusion. So here into the conclusion I just want to add my last words and a few incentives and thoughts for the reader

So with those three elements what I want to do is to use a tool that can help me to actually write more information about the iPhone vs the Android

So I can suggest to you if you don't know how to get started you can go into ChatDbd

ChatDbd is going to be helping you to create whatever you want to. So if I want to start an article about iPhone vs Android here I want to go into ChatDbd

Creating an account is really really easy. So create an introduction article about iPhone vs Android

And just like that ChatDbd is going to be starting to write the introduction of our article

So if you want to check it out how it's going to be looking here for example

So as you can see there are really strong arguments

What we want to do is to use this information, paragraphs, whatever you want to do

And then what you can do is just to add your own opinion of your actual element

So I'm going to just copy this article for example this story

Let's say that this is my actual introduction. So I'm going to just click into the enter mark

I'm going to enter once again and I'm going to paste my information here

So lastly what I just need to do is to edit my title for example

Let's say I'm going to add something like this. And here I have the introduction

I'm going to go into the X mark. And instead of just adding the introduction let's say

Now lastly I do have the feeling that I might need an image here. So I'm going to type into the very end of the very first paragraph

I'm going to type enter. I'm going to hit into the plus button. Go into add an image

And here you can go into show all files. If you don't have an image I can always go once again back

I'm going to go into add an image. I'm going to choose from unsplash

And type keyword to search from unsplash. Let's say that I want to look for Android

And hit into enter. So I have different images. Let's say for example that I want to add this one

And there we go. And there we go. So really, really easy to add this

Now I'm going to scroll a little bit down. And here I want to do exactly the same thing

But instead by adding some Android phone. I'm going to go into unsplash

And I'm going to go for iPhone. Like this. And now I have this element as well

So as you can see now I have the element. And I have which one actually created the actual photo

So once I have all of the information. I can start by actually customizing my website

After I finish that I can go into publish. And here into publish you have your story preview

You have your name. You have your elements. You have the publish too

And you want to add as much topics as you can. So people can find your post much faster

With that being said we have just created something really, really easy into Medium
