How to Get Boosted on Medium
It’s not hard, but it sure ain’t easy
Some days, Medium writers wake up feeling like a modern-day Sisyphus. But instead of being cursed to roll a boulder up a mountain in a relentless loop, you’re laboring over each keystroke, crafting article after article in the digital realm of Medium.
The pursuit can feel just as futile at times, each piece of content often seeming to tumble down the mountain of internet content, lost in a sea of obscurity, low views, and a sad lack of claps.
It often leaves us wondering, how do you ensure your work gets the attention it deserves?
The (new) answer lies in understanding what it means to get ‘boosted’ on Medium.
What Does Being Boosted on Medium Mean?
In a simple sense, to be ‘boosted’ on Medium is to win the writer’s lottery, a golden ticket of sorts to increased visibility and engagement.
When a story gets ‘boosted’, it’s recommended across various platforms of Medium including its homepage, apps, and even the Daily Digest email, which boasts a readership of millions every day.
The goal of a ‘boost’ is for your story to receive a minimum of 500 views within the first week.
