5 Free Tools Where I Promoted My Medium Stories To get More Than 5K Views

Explore the Art of Strategic Promotion and Boost Your Medium Stories with Proven Tools and Tactics.

Suppose, you have finished writing a story and have hit the publish button.

The story instantly got curated and eventually Medium features it.

All your email subscribers got a notification and they started to read it.

Few hundreds or thousands of readers have started reading your story, clapping it, and commenting on it.

Suddenly, you wake up in the morning to see thousands of reads and hundreds of hours of read time from Medium members and Friend of Medium.

You might feel like hugging your computer screen at this point of time. That is the goal for you, right? and that’s why you have been writing and posting on medium constantly upto this point.

But, to reach that stage, you might have to do some legwork to bring in those extra readers because Medium will not care much about boosting your each and every article.

Medium is a vast ocean of stories, and getting your piece noticed amidst the waves can be a daunting task.

In this article, I’ll share my journey of promoting Medium stories using 5 free tools that not only boosted my views but also connected me with a wider audience.

X (Formerly Know as Twitter) — A Powerful Ally

How X Can Amplify Medium Stories,

X ot Tweeter isn’t just for memes and updates; it’s a powerful tool for writers. But, using X on daily basis is not everyone’s cup of tea. For someone like me, having less than 100 followers in X, a tweet might be less than a drop in an ocean.

Here, I am trying these steps to get more attention on my posts- 1. Like any other platform, it wants you to be consistent with your updates. 2. Scheduling my tweets, a week in adcvance. 3. Using right and relatable hashtags. 4. Engage with similar people in your niche.

Facebook Groups — Community Engagement

Utilizing Facebook Groups for Targeted And Like Minded Audiences

Facebook groups are treasure troves for niche audiences. First of all, become a part of these groups listed below where people share their stories and ideas related to Medium everyday.

These groups have some rules about how you should promote your medium posts. Spread your stories using them and you will see some reads from the channel. You will also get more followers and email subscribers in return of you following other creators.

These groups are very helpful indeed. You help others to get help yourself to boost your articles. You can also post in your own Facebook post or stories to get more readers and viewers.

Quora — Tapping into Niche Discussions

Leveraging Quora for Story Promotion

Quora, the hub of knowledge, can be your secret weapon for Medium promotion.

Uncover the art of participating in discussions, answering questions, and subtly promoting your Medium stories. It’s all about being helpful while showcasing your expertise.

I have already posted a separate article about how Quora can be a handy tool to gain more audience. You can read it here.

Reddit? — I am also going to try this one

Redddit is also new for me and for most people from South Asian countries.

But I am trying to get into the habit of using reddit to get more followers and readers on my Medium profile.

I am trying to promote my stories, which can genuinely help people like this one:

Now, its not just posting some links. I will try to add some promotional text along with it, so the reader there will get bried idea about what I am trying to tell everyone.

Medium Publications — Inside the Ecosystem

Joining and Submitting to Medium Publications

Medium publications can catapult your story to a broader audience. Nowadays, there are number of publications in almost every niche.

You can join these publications to promote your stories; as these publication houses already have good following, there are number of chances through which your article can get more views and reads as you write for them.

However, you should not be posting anything and everything to these publications. They might have their own set of rules and criteria to write and submit.

I am currently a part of 4 publications namely:

Additionally, people are also using LinkedIn and Pinterest.

But I am relatively new to both these platforms and hence I have no idea of how it can be useful in your writing journey.

If you have any other suggestion or idea to promote your writing materials, please comment down your responses. I would love to hear fro you all wonderful people.

Thanks for reading till the end! It means a lot.
