You don’t deserve this.

The thing is, many things impact how many readers get their eyeballs on your stories.

Yes, a strong SEO can help you get external views. A strong Medium SEO*, a tantalizing title & subtitle, and a topic readers are interested in can help you get Medium readers.

But only if those potential readers get to see your story! You need views and your control of views is limited.

I’m not going to rewrite what is already out there if I don’t have more to add.

Barb Dalton wrote an end-of-the-year piece, that was outstanding because it was a great read.

More importantly, she shared a link to one of her riotously marvelous RANTS!

Before I share that piece, get out your notepad. A pretty one. You will find:

  • An example of an ideal promotion of your best work
  • Example of assessing time management — what works for YOU. The Gurus are not you and they are most often wrong about your readers
  • An excellent way to evaluate areas where you write
