The Four Essential Parts of a Great Article

A few short tips to help make sure all the bases are covered.

The best Medium articles are the ones which provide value to their readers. Value is anything that leaves the reader better after the read than before — it can be a story, a poem, a news commentary, a personal essay, or anything else you want to write.

This article, for example, is something I plan to share with people who decide they want to write for Serious Philosophy in the future. The idea is that there are some foundational thoughts that most of the writers who reach out to me for advice need to hear.

Now, if you’ve written a poem, these guidelines may not apply. If you’re publishing an essay you already printed somewhere else, these may not apply. But for the majority of content on the internet, these rules work.

And if you’re wanting to get your name out there to earn some money or to get a message out, the best way to do that is to add a solid Contact The Author section to the end of each of your articles. Here’s mine:

Thomas Dylan Daniel is an existentialist philosopher, professional ethicist, author, and biophysicist. He has written four books and started a Medium publication called Serious Philosophy.
