The first report you read is never accurate

From my days in the military, I learned that the first report you hear about is only half true. The information you hear is incorrect until the real story emerges hours to days later. This is the case with Medium’s new platform change that many people agonized over and people still missed this little secret. My one little secret will brighten your day as soon as you read this. Are you ready?

Let’s begin. I don’t like to keep you waiting. I like to get right to the point. That’s my style. No fluff. No fake news. Real information.

This morning I was updating an article that I submitted to Data Driven Investor. They have another platform outside of Medium in addition to their original site that is on Medium. As I working to import an article I wrote, I noticed something that made me very happy.

As other writers have mentioned, from the new and experienced writers, they all missed this one change. The writers criticized the good and bad about Medium’s new change. Many writers missed this one benefit.

With the new change, writers thought they could no longer pin their top articles on their homepage. Surprise, surprise, surprise… that option is still available. A little more research would have revealed that.

To pin your article, this is what you need to do:

Step 4

Immediately below the image of your story’s photo, you can pin this story to your homepage. Once you click on the box to pin your story, the story will be the first article viewers see on your homepage. This is the goldmine writers have missed.

As I said, I get right to the point in my article. I don’t give you a lot of fluff. I try to provide you exactly what you need.

What story do you plan to pin to your homepage?
