4 Important Factors to Consider For a Medium Journey so Far
I find it struggling at the beginning to understand this
Let’s simplify the process of determining Medium Engagement. For me, this works because some of it might be the information I ignored during the journey, not because it simply works. Here is why.
Be real, and stay real
For the first two months, it was so fiery and so exciting but after two months I kinda lost the fire in me. So many factors really, but I guess the main problem is the MPP affects the allowance to join publicists that I’d enjoyed. And the money of course.
Anyway, the reason why people influencer marketing exists and why people spend time-consuming content from Pewdiepie, Jake Paul, and Andrew Tate is because these are real people who have a voice and thoughts to share with their fans. Also entertaining of course and there’s a story to follow.
Readers wake up in the morning excited to see what they might have missed from the night before, and they look forward with anticipation to seeing what’s next to the sequence.
The authenticity growing in the audience's minds about a picture of you. Subconsciously they want you to figure it out through your voice. The problem is “be real” is not a hard job, “stay real” is.
Why? because it requires consistency, and somehow consistency is a hard thing to do especially if you watch the news for what is happening and want to say something about it. It messes with your mind and eventually wrecks your essence of niche.
The thing is… Oh, I wish someone had told me about this earlier. You write something you don’t always like to make writing as a living, as your job. If you really want this as your job please think about this.
Be relevant, stay relevant, and be smart
You don’t have to write the over-specific detail about your theme, but you should be on the ones where your readers are, and you should aim to tap into social networks where you can get the most reach and possible engagement.
Having a presence on every topic hurt your niche and your audiences. Oh yeah… that’s my FATAL mistake on this Medium, after I think about it, technically speaking I don’t want to follow people that happen to have a “helping niche” and won’t reply to any of their readers at all. Why would I?
“This how I reach…” or “Here’s how I, so you can…” or “This helps me a lot…” but soon as I scroll down to the comment section he/she won’t really reply to any of their readers. What the fuck…
There’s the dead-ass serious ignorant asshole over here. People who can’t handle opinions and write a self-helping article. Well, you have to make sure and recheck your role model then.
Mixed-in content strategy is not as good as you think. For me to be relevant means you understand what you talking about, you walk the talk, and you don’t mess around with your audience. People can see eventually.
Raise awareness
Today’s reader is ignoring your title sales pitch rhetoric and instinctively passing past your posts, which are perceived to be an offer versus a hook to engage.
We are all on the same page when it comes to struggling with using social media because we’re focusing on the ned-game (ie, the sale) versus the path to purchase, which involves creating brand awareness (being actively seen), tapping into conversations in the comment section, which builds loyalty, and acknowledging who we talking to, and what we’re talking about.
Celebrate your milestone success
The most significant competitive advantage that Medium provides is the ability to listen to what’s said about your brand, competition, and industry.
Whenever someone reads your article and shares their thoughts, that’s an opportunity for you to acknowledge your readers and celebrate the occasion.
Damn, I’ve mentioned this thing more than 4 times throughout my previous articles and it seems it never gets old. Going forward, embrace and acknowledge the good just as you would the bad.
An interaction is an opportunity to build the reader's loyalty further and repeat the flow.
Whether it’s outsourcing stories or delegating your content and storytelling strategies to audiences, we have to realize that in the game of the online world, the writers who make the most noise combined with getting others to share their posts are the ones who will ultimately win the most.
Do what you gotta do man! Just saying.
And hey…
Let me know
