No Followers, No Experience? Here's How I Started Writing Anyway
Ever feel like you were screaming into thin air? I did too.😞
No following
No writing background
And honestly… no clue what I was doing. ?🤷♂️
Today, though, I'm here writing solidly, growing following, and actually getting paid to write. If you're starting from scratch, this site's for you. Here's how I started with nothing and built something meaningful. 🔥
💭 StepI :Stopped Waiting for Permission
I used to think that I needed credentials, an English degree, or at least a "real" blog to start writing. That left me stuck.
Then one day, I said: Forget it. I'm starting with what I have my voice.
➡️ Lesson: All you need to become a writer is the passion to write.
Platforms like Medium, LinkedIn, or even a personal blog are made for beginners.
📚 Step 2: I Learned from Writers I Admired
- No wheel-reinventing. I've seen posts from writers crushing it online and noted:
- Their writing tone ✍️
- The way they began and concluded posts 🧲
- The way they told stories and made it concise 🗣️
➡️ Tip: Don't copy soak up. Then write yourself.
🛠️ Step3: I Treated Writing as an Art (Not Just a Passion)
- I wrote daily, even if just 100 words.
- I experimented with headlines, tone, and styles.
- I bombed more times than I can count. 😅
But eventually, I got better. People started taking notice. Then commenting. Then sharing.
➡️ Consistency beats perfection. Be there before you're ready.

📈 Step 5: I Optimized But Kept It Real
Yeah, I did learn SEO 🔍
Yeah, I wrote better hooks 🎣
But I never lost my authenticity.
➡️ People talk to people. Not keywords. Not "perfect" paragraphs.
💡What You Can Learn
✅ Start with what you have
✅ Write like you're talking to a friend
✅ Learn, but don't compare
✅ Keep going even if no one's clapping yet ????
✅ Your voice matters particularly when it's real
✨ Final Thoughts
I had no audience, no history, and no hope when I began.
But writing every day, learning in public, and being human flipped everything.
If you're thinking about starting start today. Future you will be so grateful that you did. 💬🧠
