Excellent tips, Deya. I hope more writers will follow your advice (I’m a little sick of reading the same article over and over, regurgitated by different writers without adding their own spice to it).

By the way, one other thing you can do to stand out is complement your writing with other media you create yourself: infographics, videos, cartoons, paintings, photography, audio narration, whatever. It takes more time, but that’s precisely why it’ll help you stand out (most writers won’t take the time to do any of that).
