Each day, new writers join Medium. Each day tens of thousands of stories are published.

New writers wonder:

How can I stand out from the crowd?

The answer:

by being distributed

Distribution is one of the biggest buzz words in the community of Medium writers.

But what does it mean?

Definition: Distribution is when Medium’s curators choose your story to share more widely with readers.

• When a story is curated, it shows up on the page for the tag (=label) that it has been curated in.
• It will be distributed to Medium members who follow those tags and be promoted via Medium’s channels (on the homepage, in the app, in their Daily Digest newsletter, and in other emails)

Unfortunately, I see many new writers who write beautiful and unique stories that don’t have any chance of getting distributed by Medium.

Why?

⚠️Because their posts don’t follow Medium’s requirements for further distribution. They are breaking rules without knowing it.
