More Quick and Easy Tips from an Editor on Medium
Things I’ve Learned Along the Way
When I first became a writer for Medium, there was a lot of information to process. I hit the ground running and picked up a few tips along the way. When I became an editor, I found there were questions that many writers asked, so I wrote an article with some Quick and Easy Tips for writers.
Since then, I’ve discovered a few more tips and decided to pass them on to you.
Use a Headline Analyzer.
I tend to create titles that imply without giving the reader much information about the article. Before I started using a headline analyzer my titles were too short and too…. cute.
A helpful editor suggested I try a headline analyzer and I was reluctant at first. I told him I didn’t want my titles to be too ‘clickbaity’. He laughed and suggested I could think about it this way. I should write titles that were ‘click-worthy’ instead.
