3 proven ways to get more views.
I have just completed my 17 days on Medium as a new writer on Medium. Since, the beginning of my journey I have studied varies strategies that have worked for me on Medium.
I always like to try new things with my articles. I like to improve my writing skills on a daily basis. So, I have found some great ways that will surely help writers and other content creators to increase there views.
( Quick Fact — We will discuss ways to improve views internally. External Views are just the numbers, while Internal views help you to earn some good amount of money on Medium. )
Tags Matter!
Let’s assume that, you are writing an article on new apple device launched in market. So, tag your post with Technology, Devices etc. rather than life, Music.
Medium has an awesome algorithm which helps readers to read articles they like. People who like reading about cats will end up reading about articles tagged with Cats, animals etc.
So, tagging your articles with unrelated Tags will surely end up getting zero views.
People will only read stuff which are recommended to them by medium, based upon their interests. So, People who like technology will end up reading your articles.
(Quick Fact — As a software developer, I know how an algorithm actually helps people to find articles they would love to read.)
Publication Means Everything On Medium
Let’s assume you have around 50 followers on Medium, then only 10% of that followers will actually read your articles. In worst case, when you self publish your articles, It will eventually give you around 5 views.
Find a publication which will help you to post your articles on their platform. Some publications on medium have more than 500K followers. They have a particular way to accept submission. So, read their guidelines before actually sending your articles to them.

Readers are the only people who will support you In future by following you. You can’t write some foolish article to get views and Earn some extra money.
