Section 1.1: Recurring Income Through Key Articles

One significant advantage lies in creating articles that generate ongoing interest, such as your "Write For Us," "Format Guidelines," and "About" sections.

Whenever someone expresses interest in writing for your publication, they'll likely refer to these foundational articles to understand the submission requirements. Even existing writers often revisit these guidelines to ensure their work aligns with your standards. I've noticed that I frequently consult these articles when submitting to different publications.

This enduring reference point is powerful, especially when most Medium articles see a sharp decline in engagement shortly after publishing.

Section 1.2: Gaining Fresh Perspectives from Submissions

Another surprising benefit is the influx of new ideas from article submissions. Viewing content through the lens of an editor and publication owner allows you to enhance your own writing skills.

You will encounter a range of submissions, from excellent to subpar. By analyzing your reactions to these pieces, you can discern effective strategies for your own work.

For instance, I’ve started prioritizing clarity and purpose in my writing because of some submissions that failed to convey a clear message. If your writing doesn't communicate anything meaningful, what's the point?

By reviewing submissions to your publication, you’ll gain valuable insights that can significantly boost your writing abilities.
