The new year is waiting for you. Success is available and you have the opportunity.

What will it take to find your way as a writer in 2024? Well, I have a few suggestions and maybe they can work for you.

Here is my list of 24 ways to help find more success on Medium and elsewhere in the brand new year.

1. Set goals. This is a big one and it really does matter. I recommend that you set goals related to earnings, stories, views, followers, and anything else that can be measured. Write the goals down somewhere and take them seriously.
2. Write consistently. If you prioritize one thing, it should be your writing. Be consistent about it. If your goal is one story per week, then stick to the schedule, come hell or high water.
3. Engage with other writers. This is a writing community and everybody loves attention every once in a while. Give your time and energy to others and watch a lot of it come back. If it doesn’t, that’s fine too because people get busy in their lives.
4. Acknowledge the effort. If somebody leaves a comment on your story, try to recognize it in some way so they know it is appreciated. If you don’t know what to say or the best words, just reply with a “thank you" or something like that.
5. Be original. There are millions of things to write about. Plus, there’s a lot happening in your country or culture that the rest of the world might want to see and understand. Share your world and experiences.
6. Be creative. People love variety and something different every once in a while, so show your creativity and mix things up when you can.
7. Remain professional. Do your best to take your writing seriously and make it look serious with good grammar and syntax. Yes, writers and editors for big newspapers make mistakes too, but that’s on them. We can be great.
8. Give a lot of effort. If you want to find success as a writer against all of the competition in the world, you are going to have to bring everything you’ve got every day of the year. Seriously, that’s very true in my experience.
