5 Important Steps to Grow on Medium
Building a following on Medium (or any social platform) isn’t easy!
I wrote fairly consistently on Medium for a year, took some time off to deal with a health issue, and then came back to continue building — so I greatly understand the sentiment that there’s no such thing as “overnight success” on this platform (or any blogging or social media outlet).
In a recent post where I discussed monetizing content on Medium, I received numerous questions from new writers on Medium about growing an audience.
While there’s no magic formula, there are a few tips that can help you expand your reach.
I should also note — these same tips and strategies work for pretty much any social media platform, whether you want to build on Medium, Instagram, Facebook, and so on.
