IT SUCKS!

Ugh!

It kills me from the inside.

I bet you also feel the same when you write with all your heart, spend the whole day researching, structuring your article, and finally, with all the courage you have, publish your piece only to see zero to no views after a day of publishing.

📍Is your writing worth no views? Does your writing suck? Are you wasting your life writing pieces no one reads?

A plethora of questions and waves of self-doubt hits you and you start thinking about giving up on your writing and move onto more productive and worthy things in life.

But, wait a minute.

What if I say, that it isn’t your writing that sucks but the way you market your pieces do. In fact, your writing is brilliant and engaging. You should keep it up.

Here’s the kicker —

How will people know that you have written the best piece on the Internet if you didn’t go and tell them? Billions of articles get published every day on the web and only a handful of them grab the eyeballs. Readers are not going to read your articles unless and until you are ready to go and Inform them the same.

I get it.

Now you must be thinking about how can you make your audience aware of your latest article? Where can you find them? How do they look? On which platforms do they engage?

Relax, it’s not as intimidating as it looks. In fact, it’s easier than said.

Curious?

Let’s get the ball rolling.

1. Quora

Quora is a question-and-answer-based platform. It is a forum about everything. You could ask a question and everyone has a chance to answer it. It has over 600 million users right now.

You can answer questions in your niche and can earn a following on the platform.

📍Remember to have a variety of questions to answer. In simpler words, target a combination of highly competitive questions ( questions with a lot of followers ) and less competitive questions ( questions having few followers ), that way you can easily build trust and will be visible to your readers.

SAY NO TO SPAM.

Don’t add multiple links in your answers. Quora moderators are highly sensitive regarding any outbound links.

📍An answer should contain only two links. To bring a ton of people back to your article, leave a link back to your blogpost at the end of your answers.

It has “ Quora Spaces” too. These are just like publications on Medium. It includes a discussion about a specific topic. You can start your own or answer questions in different spaces. It should be up to the moderators of the spaces to pass or approve your answers.

If you are not writing on Medium, you are losing on a lot of opportunities, traffic, and the green bucks.

📍On the other hand, you can import your originally published articles on Medium and can make use of 230 million people active on the platform. Not only you can bring traffic from Medium but also can get paid for your articles.

Can you imagine your duplicate articles are getting paid more than your original articles on WordPress?

This ain’t any trap but straight facts.

Leave a link at the end of your Medium stories stating “ originally published on" and see people jumping from Medium to your WordPress blog if your article inspired, educate, or made them laugh.

It’s a win-win situation for everyone.
