It’s been a while since I created a listicle article, so I’ve gone through the content I’ve written recently and pulled out these 10 ways of establishing your authority.
Establishing your authority as a writer online isn’t about being the loudest voice; it’s about being consistent, insightful, and providing valuable content to your audience.
Whether you’re building an audience on Medium, Substack, or your favoured platform, these ten strategies will help you stand out and become a trusted expert.
1. Develop a Recognizable Writing Style
A strong writing style makes you memorable.
Avoid generic content, infuse your work with personal experience, unique insights, and a distinct tone.
Use storytelling and open loops to keep readers engaged and returning for more.
2. Commit to Daily Writing & Publishing
Consistency builds credibility.
Writing and publishing daily improves your skills, reinforces your authority, and signals reliability to your audience. Even short, well-crafted posts contribute to your long-term presence.
