Many people, especially our current generation, Gen-Z, underestimate the power of Facebook in our world today, especially as writers. We mostly think that Facebook is for old and boring people. This is not the case, as people earn their living daily just from utilizing that app. Facebook, unlike Twitter, Instagram, and other social media platforms, has the unique feature of unlimited text writing without the need to upload pictures. Your Facebook page can be like a diary where you jot down your thoughts and, with time, get better at it. You can limit the number of people who can view your posts to trusted friends and loved ones so that you don’t have to worry about being laughed at.

It doesn’t have to be perfect. It doesn’t have to make a whole lot of sense. As a writer, especially an upcoming one, mistakes and imperfections are inevitable. Thankfully, there is a comment section where people can also contribute and discuss the subject matter.

2. Develop your niche: People have subjects of interest. It’s always best to discover what is of interest to you and develop it. It could be religion, feminism, sports, trending issues, etc.

In effect, you can use such tools to enhance your brand, so that you stick in the minds of your readers, increase your credibility, and motivate people.
