Did You Know This Feature of Medium?

I’m getting so much traffic out of this trick.

Not a member? Click here.

** UPDATE: Using this trick, my stories made the first page of Google. Check for yourself by searching Medium Publications 2024 **

Step 1

Go to one of your stories.

Not a draft — an already published story.

Click on the … and select Story Settings.

On the following page scroll down, or click on SEO settings:

You should see two sections:

SEO Title
SEO Description

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization.

Medium automatically detects the Headline and Subtitle.

This is how your story is presented to the whole wide web.

Not your text. Not your beautiful conclusion.

Medium only sends these words to search engines like Google.

How can you utilize this?

You can change the SEO description.

You have 156 characters to optimize how your story is presented to search engines.

Take a look above at how this box is filled by default. What a waste of words!

Step 2

Go to ChatGPT. You know ChatGPT right??

Copy this prompt:

In this chat, I want you to analyze the content of the articles I will provide you and generate an SEO description of 156 characters to best promote this story. Only use strong SEO words, so that my article stands out in search engines. Use active verbs. It doesn’t have to be a complete sentence, just use the most important SEO words in variations.

Hit enter, then copy your entire article below.

Your result should look something like this.

Revise the provided text if necessary, and paste it in the SEO Description box.

Step 3

SEO optimization will help you bring more viewers outside of Medium to your stories.

BUT WAIT A MOMENT

“Views from non-members don’t provide me earnings!”

That’s not entirely true.

Outside views and reads increase the engagement of your story.
More engagement means the article is picked up by the algorithm.
Medium members use Google as well!

A Single Sentence Doubled The Views On My Story

Can you guess what it was?

medium.com

I’ll give you one more trick — featured in the story above.

If you are a Friend of Medium, you can utilize your Friend Link to generate income.

All you have to do is paste your friend link at the beginning of your story.

Did you know that Friend Links by Friends of Medium generate earnings?

Don’t take my word for it — it’s in the Friends Link policy.

Take advantage of this option and increase your earnings with outside traffic!

My articles gather a lot of traffic from outside of Medium.

Just look at how many clicks I got on one of my stories!

If you are familiar with SEO you can work your magic and make perfect use of those 156 characters.

I am only a newbie writer, but I take the time (2 minutes) to make my articles shine on the web.

And it works.
