For months writing on Medium I was asking myself WHY?

Why my stories don’t get any claps or comments? I had views and reads…and I even got boosted stories:

But didn’t get engagement. See the reads and views? But the money are way low!

Why?

Because I never thought about the read ratio! Fool!

Newsflash: my writing was crappy.

So I critically analyzed my writing. And I decided to change.

And…

Finally! I am getting the results I am aiming for! It tells me I am on the right track!

Three days ago I published this article:

And when I woke up in the morning the next day, I was shocked!

I finally got the engagement I needed!

And as I write this article, iot already has close to 500 claps and 7 comments.

How did I get there?

get the right followers: engage with writers, who are in your target audience
stay in the niche: writing to everyone is writing to noone
write every day
alternate short and long form
master the titles: read more here.
publish to the right publications: read more here.
don’t worry about competition: read more here.

So just wanted to say BIG THANK YOU to all of you who take the time to read my stories for more than 30 seconds, clap and comment!

Thanks for reading!
