When you join Medium you soon realise that you need to do a little bit extra than just writing & creating content.

If you want to progress and succeed I feel that you must embrace the things that are available to you.

You could call it your digital toolbox if you like.

Making sure you have your email address link & username link for medium easily accessible.

Gradually you can add the various spaces on social media. You may have to create these profiles on the platforms but once you have the links and register it will make the hard yards worthwhile.

I suggest you make separate accounts on these platforms so you can keep your personal profiles exactly that; personal.

I don’t want to overwhelm you with information so I will make it as easy to follow as I can. Remember I am still a work in progress too.

  • Create a dedicated Facebook page. (You can have more than one if you wish.)
  • Create a dedicated Twitter account.
  • Create a dedicated email (I used outlook for this as it is very straight forward.)
  • Create a dedicated Pinterest profile. (Using your new email.)
  • Create a Tumblr blog profile. (Using your new email.)
  • Create a LinkedIn profile. (Using your new email.)
  • Create a Reddit account. (Using your new email.)

Next, you should go to mix.com and create your profile. I have enclosed a link at the bottom of this post.

This is a little how-to; get set up on mix.com video below. Remember once you are set you have four more spaces to share in.

That is on top of the three off Medium. Plus Instagram & Flipboard. So far 9 shares! Also, every time you share within mix.com you can either add to or create an album of your links etc. In the little video guide, you will spot my albums.

The next site I am going to inform you about is ManyStories.com. This site has quite a few familiar faces. Lincoln W Daniel runs this.

When you register you must embrace the main point which is sharing. Initially, you must go on a waitlist within the site.

Once you have done this you can start to share your links from Medium.

When you share your link use the Medium free friends link on ManyStories.

Once you have made your first share of a specific story link save your post in an album format. You can hide it from other people privately or keep it on public view.

Now you have saved & shared with the platform this creates a new sharing link.

The result is five more platforms plus you can copy the link and post it on mix.com to so that is 6 spaces.

I’m adding another little how-to; get set up on ManyStories’s video.

Summary.

Once you have got set up on these websites and you include the Medium share links you now have 15 spaces to share your content creations.

Both Video’s I Created Are Free To Access Just Click On The Links.

I sincerely hope that you find this article useful.

The Best Is Yet To Come.
