Smedian Closed Its Doors
It’s a bummer. Especially for new writers.
When I started my journey on Medium, I took a free email course by Top Writer Tom Kuegler.
In lesson 3 called ‘How to Contribute to Tons of Publications’ he introduced Smedian.
In his email, Tom shared that getting published in a bigger publication is an extension of your followers and that you get in front of a much bigger audience.
Made sense. But where to start?
Tom explained, that Smedian as a third-party Medium tool could help you to get featured in the publication of your dreams.
It followed and ranked pubs of all sizes.
In August 2021, when I promoted Smedian in one of my short form posts the platform said there were 1,478 Medium publications that were accepting contributors.
