Let’s face it, few poets have a name and reputation big enough to get people to search for and read their poetry. And for poets on Medium, with earnings dependent on reading time, no poet is going to earn more than pennies if they depend on their poetry alone. We needed to discover a way to increase the read time. After reading How to Overcome Medium’s New Profile Format In Order to Increase Read Time For Poems and Short Reads by Greg Prince, I realized there was a Sure-fire system for doing just that.

Greg’s article was about how to prevent people from being able to read your entire poem now that so much of the beginning of each story appears in the preview on your profile. He recommended adding 300 to 400 words before your poem so that this won’t occur. And — Yahtzee! The idea for the perfect system for poets who want fame and fortune was born.
