As I explain in the introductory video:

"Welcome to class... I've designed this class specifically for folks working in data science and other tech professions. If you're working in another field I believe you will get a lot from this course as well. Despite not having met yet, I believe you have already written your first article. My name is Adam Ross Nelson. I am a data scientist and I am a frequent author on Medium. This video will help you find and plan your first article.

As I said, a moment ago, the goal of this video is to help you find your first article. Which you have probably already written, by the way. To do this, we will use your existing social media assets... I'm going to show how you can find your most popular posts. Your most popular posts will be your first Medium article. Your existing social probably already contains a high proportion of the content you'll need for that article...

By the way, if you've already published and written your first article, this video will help you find the topic and content for your next article. The reason I send folks to their existing social media for article content is quite strategic. Social media probably represents your lane... In gist, your lane are your topics that you're known for... The vast majority of the time it is important to stay in your lane. The next reason is... because your existing social media already has data related to what readers what to engage with and read."
