📈 Making the Most of the Glide Writers Cohort

1. Break up Writing into Smaller Milestones

• Block off time each day to move your post closer to completion
• Avoid a blank page on the publishing day at all costs
• Follow the guidelines within The Publishing Process (Template) to facilitate the writing process throughout the week
• Don’t fall behind. Share your writing topic in Slack and complete a Bullet Draft on Friday (more on this in Onboarding Part 3)

2. Have A Bias Toward Publishing

• Publishing every week isn’t trivial. But having a bias toward publishing will make it possible
• Follow the 500-word constraint. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Writing 3 posts in a row is difficult, and we want to avoid burnout
• Perfection is your enemy. You will not create a perfect post. Don’t let this stop you from publishing
• Maintain consistency. It’s better to maintain (or start) the habit of publishing than to not publish — even if it’s a shorter post. Try to Publish a 250-word post if you’re struggling to publish

3. Connect and Give Back

• Give feedback and support others in the Slack channel. Use the Feedback Guide to help give feedback. The more you give, the more others will help you
• Sign up to be matched 1:1 with someone from the cohort with our ‣ form. After you’re matched, you can schedule a call and hold each other accountable throughout the week

4. Distribution is 🔑

• Take the time to promote your writing on social media after hitting publish
• Writing is the hard part, but distribution is just as important
• “Do Things That Don’t Scale” with your writing — send it directly to people who might be interested and ask for feedback
