How Can You Support Publications and Your Editors on Medium and on Other Platforms

Writing Community Building

Building a community can be a beautiful process. Supporting each other allows us to keep building the building blocks to create a beautiful piece of art that stands tall and stunning.

Why would you want to support the publications and editors?

1. Publications take a lot of time to develop and maintain. Owners/ Creators of publications do not get payment for their time.
2. Editors for publications read your articles twice. Once before publishing, editing or adding comments for you to edit and again when published.
3. Editors to not get paid, they are editing your writing, publishing your article and supporting you as a writer for free.
4. Publications and editors share your work on Medium and on other social media platforms like Twitter or LinkedIn for example.
5. Many of your editors volunteer their time in multipe publications.

If they do not get paid: why do they do it?

To support you as a writer because your editors are writers as well. Building a community.

What does this mean to your publications and editors?

Your publication owners/creators and editors have less time writing their own articles and content.

What can you do yo support your publications and editors?

1. Read their work. Your editors read your work at least twice for each article. Please reciprocate by reading their work as well.
2. Read older content as well not only brand new articles.
3. Support your publications and editors by using their names (publication name or editor name or both) and their work embedded in your work or at the end of your articles.
4. Say thank you. It is so nice to get that little note of appreciation.
5. Clap 50 for their work.
6. Distribute their work and publication in social media platforms or by sharing with friends and family during conversations.
7. Provide a tip as you can to show your support.
8. Subscribe to their work on Medium and other platforms.

Why is it good for you to do this for your publications and editors?

1. You will get noticed.
2. You will get even more support if you need help with something. The road goes both ways….
3. Prevent burnout.
4. Being there for others when they are there for you it is well, just the right thing to do.

This article was prompted by a previous article I wrote a few days ago about how to support each other on Medium and other platforms. Then, I started thinking and felt that publications and editors need additional mention for all the hard work they do.
