They share their own experiences and insights on different platforms such as Twitter, LinkedIn, blogs, and newsletters. They highlight the pros and cons of each platform, including ease of use, audience building, feedback mechanisms, and professional environment. They emphasise the importance of choosing a platform that aligns with your goals and preferences, and suggest starting with one platform and then expanding to others as you gain momentum.


Takeaways

  • Choosing the right platform to publish as a beginner writer can be challenging, but it's important to find one that aligns with your goals and preferences.
  • Twitter is a popular platform for writers due to its ease of use, quick audience building, and the ability to connect with like-minded individuals.
  • LinkedIn offers a professional environment for writers and allows for longer-form content, but it can be harder to stand out and gain traction.
