I did it in 3 months.

I still can’t believe I made it to the top 50, out of the 18.2K writers in the topic — Ideas. Had I known the process sooner, I could have done it in less than a month!

Here are the 3 solid tips I used for earning the coveted badge of honor 🏆. If it worked for me, it will work for you.

1. Publish consistently. This is a race — to get the badge, you need to be in the top 50 in a topic among tens of thousands of writers.

2. Study top writer tags. Pick your favorites and use them correctly in your stories.

3. Fix the past stories. Make sure your favorite (and relevant) tags are attached to your past stories. Edit them now.
