The Medium Quick Reference Guide®

Chapter 9: Publishing Great Stories (Sf)

Chapter 9 — you’ve labored to make your story the best it can be now; publish it for the most significant impact and audience reach.

  • Publishing your story —Build yourself a checklist to run through before hitting the Publish button. I did a story titled Freelancers: Your Write Checklist.
  • Scheduling your story — I like to use Medium’s scheduling function as my Plan B when my writing falls behind. I use Saturdays or Sundays to write my stories for the upcoming week and schedule them to drop during the week.
  • Choosing a Publication — As I promote the launch of The Medium Quick Reference Guide, I’m publishing stories through three Publications ILLUMINATION (chapter teasers), ILLUMINATION Book Chapters (actual chapters), and ILLUMINATION Mirror.
  • Metering your story — Covers metering your story so it can start earning.
