Hey Yana I know what you mean because I have one of those articles that you speak of. It's 8 mins and I personally liked it but it never found it's audience. It could've been dry. It could've been self important. It's truly a unique article to my catalog because I didn't do another like it afterwards. I have plans for it's though. It was 5 ways to raise your mindset I believe aka blah blah blah lol
I get it though. I see people do it all of the time on social media. They talk at people instead of inserting themselves. That gets the quickest scroll by from me. It took me a while to find some kind of formula. My writing on love and relationships does the best. Every time so that must be my strongest niche that resonates with readers.
Everything you said in this article is 100 % accurate in my eyes because my stats were confirmation. I think my strongest in your list of preferences is unique author's voice.
" The idea here is to engage the reader"
Probably the best advice I've heard on Medium in that quote.
