Tips for getting started, writing your first article and getting noticed
There are so many benefits to having a data science blog on Medium.
My original goal was to put together some sort of portfolio that employers could review when I applied for jobs, but it became so much more for me.
Writing on Medium allowed me to:
- Build a community with other data scientists
- Develop my connections on LinkedIn and my network
- Earn extra money every month
- Solidify the concepts I learn by teaching others
One of the biggest hurdles when it comes to getting started is knowing what to write about. What will your niche be? What will your first article be about?
Why data science?
On Medium, you can write about just about anything. It’s such a cool platform because it’s extremely user-friendly, has a very affordable membership fee (which you can easily earn back each month by writing), and it’s very simple to create an account and start writing right away .
