Are You Tagging Your Stories Like a Top Writer?

Choosing tags for your Medium story has become an art form. I would almost go as far as to say that tagging properly is more important than getting curated. While curation is obviously valuable, I’ve noticed something fascinating over the years.

Sometimes pieces that get curated tank, while others soar. But it’s how the curation works hand in hand with the tags you choose that make a world of difference. (Plus, pubs vs. self-publishing + follower count. Remember, an algorithm has a lot at play.)

So much so that I have taken the time to revisit old stories and change the tags to align with the topic(s) they have been curated in. (Though, that is still technically a theory in process that requires further testing.)
