Recently, I answered this question on Quora:
This uplifting and insightful story received several upvotes and shares.
That’s why I wanted to republish it on ILLUMINATION and even add exclusive insights for you, which I didn’t share on Quora.

Thanks for making my words a part of your day!

Each day, new writers join Medium. Each day tens of thousands of stories are published.
New writers wonder:
How can I stand out from the crowd?
The answer:

But what does it mean?
…
Ayodeji Awosika is one of the most popular writers on Medium and he is phenomenal.
He has started his Medium journey in June 2018 and has been growing his Medium income ever since.
From three digits earnings to $13K.
…
The other day I read in the comments that someone said the writing quality on this platform is terrible because the English of many writers is poor.
What?
Even though the reader in the comments didn’t mean me personally, I felt called out.
To be honest: As a non-native speaker…
