Most EPR earners won't earn much this month until the Medium staff is back.

Crafting Excellence in Writing

Time Management: Lower your expectations, big earners. In January, we are in for a surprise with earnings.

Writing takes time, so don’t rush your articles. Think about it: have you ever noticed how much effort someone like 1Spot puts into their craft? Referencing every image, nailing tags, and giving proper credit, his work is flawless.

It takes him one to three hours per article, but the results are worth it. No spelling errors, no formatting issue,s just polished perfection. That’s precisely what publications expect from every writer.

I see it all as an editor for a larger platform than Medium. We reject many submissions because of simple mistakes: spelling errors, improper referencing, missing punctuation, and sloppy formatting.

If you don’t have a good spelling tool, get one. Yes, it’s pricey, but trust me, it’s worth every cent.

If you want your work to shine, make it happen. I said I wanted to get Pulse up and running. Spoiler: it’s still on my to-do list, but running a publication takes time.

Running a publication isn’t just about curating great articles. It’s about crafting, formatting, analyzing your audience, and studying writer stats- a full-time mental commitment.
