7 Simple Tips to Grow Your Audience

Recently I was reading a lot of articles about this topic, and I want to share the major tips that I learned both through reading and writing that will help you grow your audience on Medium.

Start writing.

The first thing you need to do is start writing. Start small, you don’t need to write a 1000 words article, just write about something you’re passionate about. Lenght is not that important. It’s important what you write and the connection you build with the readers.

Find a publication.

Publications are very helpful for starter writers because your article has more visibility. People can follow publications for various reasons, and so you have the chance to appear in their story feed even if they don’t follow you. Appearing in a publication can help new readers discover your work. That’s a great chance.

Email subscribers.

They are the cornerstone of your writings. You can create a relationship with them because they will be alerted every time you go out with a new article. This not only increases your views but helps you create a good audience.

Headlines.

Headlines are the first thing that people see, and your only chance you have to make them click and open your article. Headlines are the most important part of your article.

Follow and clap.

Read others’ work and interact with other writers. There’s a writer in particular that helped me discover that. She’s interacted with me and followed me even if I had two or three articles. She clapped at my work several times. Without realizing it, I was reading her work and feeling a connection. So I understand how important is to interact with others. It’s not just “putting your writing out there”, as I thought at the beginning, but is being part of a community and supporting each other. The fun thing is that I found her with the follow4follow, even if not everyone approves this method. If you want to know more about the follow4follow, you can read this article.

Tags and SEO.

before your story goes live, you have the opportunity to add up to five tags. Do not miss this chance because tags will help you make your story more discoverable.

SEO (search engine optimization), on the other hand, can help your stories get discovered by Google and other major search engines. To update your story’s SEO settings, click the “…” on your story page, navigate to “Settings” and select “SEO Settings” on the left.

Be consistent.

That’s something that can apply nearly to everything, but writing consistently will help you get more views. The more articles you have, the more the chance to be discovered. So, keep it up! About this topic, I suggest this article.
