This has actually been one of my MOST requested videos: an updated version of how to use the Medium editor. If you want to write a story on Medium, this video will walk you through:
- the basics
- the advanceds
- the random tips and tricks you didn't know but should
- essentially everything, from the title to how to submit to a publication and schedule
You should always keep in mind what Medium wants from you, which is a focus on the substance, not the style.
