People on Medium Doesn’t Like To Share Quality Work
The Truth About Medium’s Scary Sharing Culture
Medium is a platform where you have to find good stories yourself because no one is ready to share them with you. They read, learn, enjoy and leave.
I have spent almost one and a half years on Medium but haven’t seen anyone sharing a story. Sharing is beneficial for everyone, whether it’s writers or readers. And not only for them, but it also helps the platform expand its reach.
For example, If you have found a solution to a problem that everyone is facing, you should consider sharing it with your friends and some of the community members to help them solve their problems. It doesn’t only help them, but also the writers gain some exposure.
And not only this, when you share stories with people outside of Medium, It helps the platform making some new users which then converts to subscribers as time passes.
Many platforms are living on its sharing cultures like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, etc.
You may have noticed that there is a YouTube link or video everywhere, whether it’s a social media app or any other website you visit. It’s because of their platforms sharing culture. People on YouTube are ready to share your content everywhere to support their favorite creators and also help other people learn something new.
That’s the reason YouTube has created such a massive audience. It’s not the only factor that helped YouTube attaining such a massive audience. There are many other factors, but no one can deny that sharing is one of them.
If Medium wants to encourage the sharing culture on their platform. They should start adding a separate tab on every writer’s profile for “shared stories”.
It will be beneficial for both the readers and writers;
- It will help new writers gain some exposure if one of their stories is shared by some of the big writers.
- It will help readers find out useful content easily that has been shared by their favorite writers.
Ending words
It’s not only Medium’s duty, you can also share stories from your favorite creators to help them grow or help other people solve their problems and learn something new. You have many places like Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc to share some helpful stories.
