4 Internal Algorithm Secret Membranes That Will Help You Make a Fortune on Any Platform

Focus on the step in front of you, not the whole staircase.

Are you still a 2-year experienced newbie?

Writers have a terrible reputation because:

• they don't stick to one platform
• they get bored easily
• nobody knows when writer's block will ascend upon us

If it's Medium today, tomorrow it's LinkedIn — or it's both. Writers focus on skipping platforms rather than making a fortune on one of them. An example: A $100 bill:

• Generated from one platform (e.g., Medium) looks boring
• Generated from various platforms (Eg, Medium & LinkedIn) is worth fasting on Friday

For writers, having a hold of platforms is essential. A writer mixes sweat and dirt to create a post. Rather than creating a new one, it's necessary to make out for a single effort.

Platforms help them. Use the same article, chop it into tidbits, and post it on Twitter and LinkedIn.

I am afraid not all platforms want you or your content. Platforms want engagement.

Every day, focusing on various platforms becomes hard.

For that reason, algorithm tricks come into play. Use these below four hacks to rock any platform and start making income.

1. Marinate the system

The system is not human.

Meaning the system only knows the command to specific actions. Any person can trick the system into gaining different views without doing anything sinful.

First, set a time for your post. For me, it's (10 EST). If it's Medium, the publications automatically arrange a timezone for you. Without a doubt, you should accept Medium's publication time margin as they have been posting at the same time forever. That's why readers and subscribers stay informed.

For your personal stories, set a time.

Then, before publishing, engage with the readers. Keep engaging with five stories (before) and five stories (after) the content gets published. Warm up the algorithm.

A spike in your engagement might allow users to revert to your profile and discover new content.

These result in outward bound of comments, likes/claps, and appreciation.

As it's said, reciprocating others' posts is the best way to nurture your content views. Comment and engage at the right time — a little twist never hurts.

Then, increase the engagement count from 5 to 10 to 15.

Preferred platforms: Linkedin, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc.

2. The ultimate rebirth

Not a long time ago, we loved the ice bucket challenge. Let's remember our immense wish to repost Instagram content.

(Accept it! My mother still loves the reposting tool to this date)

Well, reposting won't work for writers. Medium doesn't allow reposting, along with many other websites. Duplicate content may result in a permanent ban.

For Medium and blogging sites: make a new post. Squeeze your old post into several new posts.

Linkedin and Twitter: start commenting on the previous post, and users will suddenly see your old post in their profile.

Practice these habits:

• Visit your old post and see if you have a comment you forgot to respond to
• Comment anything about your life and experience related to the post

Mention someone and say:

“I thought about you when writing this post, felt I should let you know.”

As long as you engage with the content, the content never dies. Medium and LinkedIn audiences work differently, but both require undivided attention.

Give them attention.

3. The cloud nine strategy

Famous people don't reply.

I am sure you must have Tim denning up there.

Who even gave you the idea of commenting on Tim's post? Did he ever ask you?

You commented on your own will. It's bad to high your hopes when they don't even know who you are. The same applies to writers like Dan Koe and Colby Kultgen.

Word of wisdom: you might have seen writers commenting on others writers' posts.

They are not doing this for fun but for views. Famous writers have high engagement rate. Instead of commenting on your regular friend's stories, start commenting on high and trendy posts.

This applies to every platform. Find the king of the platform and start commenting on their post. Leave high quality comments packed with lessons.

Steal this table: the top writers of various platforms are listen below: (updated Dec 17):

• Linkedin: Matt Barker, Justin Welsh, Matt Mike, Charles Miller, Tim Denning
• Medium: Ayodeji Awosika, Thomas Oppeng, Sinem Gunel, Sean Kernan
• Twitter: top politicians/trending posts
• Instrgam: Colby Kultgen and Dan Koe

4. Leave high-quality comments

Hear me out: comment more than you post.

You can post 1x per day, even 2. But instead of wasting your effort on writing, start using the efforts.

Comments are a shortcut way for growth. Besides, the algorithm takes time to register your worth. To make your profile known, leave high-quality comments.

Increase your worth with your comments using the "what, how, why" framework:

For example, here is a post of me on LinkedIn:

Your comment:

Crediting myself works for me, Noorain. Since 2018, I’ve changed my habits to become more resilient. Habits such as:

- Meditation 20 minutes

- workout/cycling 6x per week

- brain dump in the form of painting or drawing

Now, let's invert the comment:

“Crediting myself works for me, Noorain. Since 2018, I’ve changed my habits to become more resilient using practices such as; Meditation for 20 minutes, workout/cycling 6x per week, brain dump in the form of painting or drawing.”

The first option looks better and neater.

The best way to comment is to let people know you put effort into little things. Now find out what readers perceive as effort.

For example:

Linkedin: carousels, listicles, and mention with name (using @).

Medium: an eternal link validating the thought, a quote on a comment, or your life story

Leaving high-quality comments is an amusing job.

Final thoughts:

Nothing is ever living. That applies to platforms as well.

Well, I don't want your hair to turn into salt and pepper and cry about how the platform deceived you.

Take action before it happens. Learn the algorithm secrets and see what works for you. Apply these four techniques on your platform to receive immediate bounties.

With bounty (I did not mean the chocolate… but ok).

Someone's feeling hungry. Gotta call nana.
