Throughout your experience at Medium, you might have learned about the possibility of your articles being Boosted. You might also have learned how this can enhance both your visibility and earnings considerably.

But what type of articles get Boosted?

Medium tells us that it wants value, an authoritative source (the author has demonstrated knowledge or experience on the subject), a constructive and original viewpoint, and proper structuring and editing.

However, this list could still leave you with a confused notion of what an eligible article looks like.

To help you with this issue, I’m here to provide you with something very valuable: an example from my own stories (Boosted on August, 1st)!

If you read it carefully, you will see how this specific article fits Medium criteria nicely, compared to my other stories.

This will help you increase your chances of being Boosted, too.

Happy writing!
