How to Get Views on Medium
And keep getting them!
I’ve written before about why being a “top writer” on Medium is not a huge deal, when I responded to all those “how to be a top writer in 4 days!” posts. They weren’t sharing anything secret or of great magnitude, and it seemed more of an attention grab or almost clickbait-esque story than anything else.
The formula for becoming a top writer is very simple and straightforward (pulled from my above-linked post):
How to become a top writer:
- Pick a not-that-popular tag
- Use that tag every time you write a post or response
- Post and/or respond to posts daily
That’s literally it.
If you’re posting regularly (and I am including responses to other peoples’ stories in this) and you’re using a tag with less overall posts attached to it, you’ll become a top writer.
You can do it a bit faster by posting AND commenting every single day and getting your stories in publications.
I am currently a top writer in the “books” and “writing” categories.
And that’s great, but it’s not my ultimate goal of having a blog. I do not write on Medium with the sole intention of becoming a top writer or having the most…
