I do appreciate you sharing this. I started out on Medium writing more story type articles instead of lists and how to's. But, I started writing more list type articles and how to's because those seemed to resonate with people and get more reads. I use numbered lists or bullet points in my articles to break up the article and make it easier to read. I always share my personal experiences with each topic I write about so I can be more relatable with the educational content I'm writing about.
Again, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. I always enjoy reading about reader's feedback.
