There are few tips for writers, I have already shared in “How to get published on Coinmonks Publication?. So if you haven’t read them, I highly recommend reading that first.

A. Make your Article beautiful 👌

Your Title, subtitle and cover image of the post is as important as the content inside the post.

  1. Add an eye candy 👀

Add an eye-catching Image which will lure a viewer and convert them into a reader. Let me know about this eye candy on the comment section.

2. Choose an awesome Title

Your title should reflect what your article about. Don’t lie, don’t use click baits and don’t do things like “10 best way to do this or do that”.

3. Add a subtitle

Use subtitles to tell more about the article, it’s good practice to do so and subtitles make your article beautiful on medium.

If you don’t know how to add a subtitle, So let me first tell you that.

Steps to add subtitle on your medium post:

  1. Add text under your Title.
  2. Select the text and Click “small T” (3rd from the right/Selected ‘T’). You have your subtitle.
Medium selection tool

B. Make an effort, Share your article on social media

Now it’s your turn to share your article on social media. Find a subreddit where your post will suit. Go to Facebook groups, LinkedIn groups, and Twitter. If you want to do little more, find forums and slack communities, Find a few questions on Quora for which your article can be an answer.

C. Engage your readers

  1. Ask readers to comment

Engage your readers, ask for comments and feedbacks. Ask what they like and dislike about the post, also you can understand what kind of stories they will what to hear you in future.

Whenever you finishing your articles swiftly ask readers to follow you, Give them a reason to follow by sharing what’s coming in future articles and how it can benefit them. Also, ask readers to Clap if they like the article.
