Tips on how to get started, write your first article, and get noticed
There are so many benefits to having a data science blog on Medium.
I initially started it as a way to build a portfolio of sorts for employers to look at when I applied to jobs, but it’s become so much more for me.
Writing on Medium has allowed me to:
- Build community with other data scientists
- Grow my connections on LinkedIn and network
- Earn some extra money each month
- Solidify concepts that I’m learning about through teaching others
One of the biggest roadblocks when it comes to getting started is knowing what you should write about. What will your niche be? What will your first article be about?
Why data science?
On Medium, you can write about pretty much anything. It’s such a cool platform because it’s extremely user friendly, has a very affordable membership fee (which you can easily make back each month by writing), and it’s so effortless to set up an account and start writing right away.
