I feel compelled to share this message with those pursuing boosted articles: you don’t need to. Why give the authority to publications or editors to assess the value of your work? Isn’t it time you took control of your narrative, champion your beliefs, and let your words flow like magic into the world?
Having been active on Medium since 2019 and garnering over 110K followers on LinkedIn while growing my online coaching business, I’ve picked up numerous behind-the-scenes strategies that can help you stand out and connect with your audience.
Through years of mentoring clients in online success, particularly in content creation, I’ve cultivated a wealth of knowledge I’m eager to share. Here are 8 essential steps to help you effortlessly gain traction for your articles on Medium.com. Ready to dive in? Let’s embark on this journey together!
Step One: Cultivate Self-Belief
You must have faith in yourself and your purpose. Doubting your writing translates to uncertainty in your message. Become self-assured, delve deeper into your identity, and convey your thoughts in a way that resonates with both you and your readers.
Action: Reflect on why you write. What is your core message? What drives your mission?
Step Two: Identify Your Passion
What topic excites you so much that you could discuss it at any hour? If I were to wake you in the middle of the night, what subject would ignite your enthusiasm rather than annoyance?
Action: Write about that passion and let your creativity flow.
Step Three: Embrace the Unknown
Break free from your worries, excuses, and old limiting beliefs. Step into the unknown with trust in yourself and your instincts. Remember, success is a journey, much like committing to a gym routine rather than seeking quick fixes.
Action: Practice patience as your mind, spirit, and writing abilities evolve with time.
Step Four: Weekly Reflection
Take time each week to analyze your work. Which articles garnered the most reads? Engage with the feedback from your audience.
Action: Use this insight to refine your approach and adapt your content.
Step Five: Network with Fellow Writers
When starting out, you may feel invisible. Engage with other writers by introducing yourself in comments and sharing your insights.
Action: Dedicate 30 minutes to interact before and after publishing to boost visibility and engagement.
Step Six: Invest in Skill Development
Online writing can take various forms based on your objectives. I’ve invested over $100K in personal development, continuously adding to my skill set.
Action: Identify someone you admire, follow their work, and consider finding a mentor or coach.
Step Seven: Understand Success is Nonlinear
I’ve learned to stop checking my statistics daily; it serves no purpose. Review your stats weekly, but let your focus remain on your mission during the week.
Action: Steer clear of emotional traps that lead to doubt and uncertainty.
Step Eight: Energy Management
Evaluate how much energy you spend on negativity and self-pity. This energy could be redirected towards creativity and expression, becoming a force for those who need your message.
Action: Let go of past narratives and embrace the brilliance within you.
