Writing is an incredibly rewarding activity, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy.

There is a lot of competition out there, especially on writing platforms, but being in the top 2% of writers is an achievable goal. Here are some strategies that can help you rise to the top:

  1. Consistency is key: To stand a chance of becoming one of the top writers on a platform, you need to consistently produce high-quality content that resonates well with your audience. Delivering consistent content over the long term is an essential part of building a following and establishing trust with readers.
  2. Read, write, and rewrite: Fantastic writing only comes with practice, and that requires reading lots of great content, writing regularly, and rewriting as often as necessary. Reading will give you great ideas and help develop your writing skills by expanding your vocabulary and perspective. Write as much as you can – even if it’s just a sentence or two – and review it for ways to improve. The more you write, the better you will become at refining your craft.
  3. Leverage data: Writing isn’t just about producing impressive prose, it’s also about creating content that resonates with the readers. Do some research on what kinds of stories have a high readership rate. Look at the most popular stories and articles that other writers are publishing to get a feel for what works.
  4. SEO knowledge pays off: Understanding search engine optimization (SEO) and keyword research can make a big difference in how visible your work is. Generally, people use search engines to find articles based on specific keyword combinations. By doing some research on keywords and search terms, you can develop content that has a higher chance of appearing on top of a search engine result page, thus increasing its visibility to readers.
  5. Engage with readers: Top writers on writing platforms value their audience and understand the critical role they play in your success. Build a relationship with them by engaging them in reviews and feedback. Understanding your audience’s reviews will help you close any gaps you may have and help fine-tune your writing for future stories.
  6. Networking is important: Connect with other writers to get advice or feedback on your work. Be open to critique, join writing communities and forums, and consider whether or not classes and tutorials may help you grow and evolve as a writer. With the evolution of the internet, there have been numerous ways to connect with other writers. Facebook Writing Groups such as: Writing about Writing, Writing Bad and Write Anything, offer chances to connect and learn from successful writers.
  7. Never give up: Writing can be challenging at times, and setbacks often come with the territory. To succeed as one of the top writers on a writing platform, you must remain persistent no matter how many setbacks come your way. Keep learning, keep writing, keep getting feedback, follow trends and pursue constant improvement.

In conclusion, becoming one of the top writers on a writing platform requires an excellent product – good writing – but it also necessitates shrewd marketing tactics and a willingness to accept and apply feedback from readers or other writers. Writing aspirations call for a mix of creativity, a critical eye, and a commitment to refining the craft. Use frequently updated metrics, be consistent with the quality of your content and work hard to find what makes your writing stand out.
