Have you thought about doing a weekly column on Medium? It might work to help you increase your views, engagement and income.

If you can find a topic that you really enjoy, then having a weekly column on that subject could be successful. I believe it is worth giving it a try.

One time I worked at a newspaper and some of the senior writers had weekly columns. They needed to write something to literally fill that newspaper column space every week.

Here are my observations:

  • Time went fast for these columnists because they were always thinking about their next column.
  • These writers also had to do other stories during the week.
  • Sometimes the column content didn’t work out for some reason. An editor might have canceled it because of political reasons or maybe sources couldn’t be reached.
  • Popular columnists would feel pressure to write something interesting and they felt this every single week.
