The Holy Grail of Medium Story Ideas
Three easy steps to hit the jackpot of ideas in ten seconds
Right now you can hit the jackpot of story ideas.
All it takes is three easy steps in five seconds:
Step one: Type the name of a Medium publication that you would like to write for or have written an article for previously
Step two: Type backslash (/) after the name of the publication. (artfully autistic/)
Step three: Type the word archives after the backslash (artfully autistic/archives)
This is what you will see:
This is so cool. It’s like being able to hack into a publication’s personal database, but it’s all legit and you can do it for any publication you want to check out their previously published stories.
In case you’re brand new to Medium, let me explain why this pure GOLD:
- It gives a snapshot of the type of stories a particular publication is looking for.
- It gives you the ability to read the minds of Medium readers by clicking on the “most-read” tab to see the kinds of stories readers are most interested in reading.
- As you scroll through the stories, it is GUARANTEED to generate new story ideas in your mind within a few minutes.
Trust me, this is the Holy Grail of story ideas because our minds tend to think associatively where one idea naturally sparks another idea. This is how I came up with my last story idea, and that’s why I am thanking God for this hack.
Kristina God, that is.
She shared this idea in her article, “How to Hack Medium’s Biggest Publications And Gain Access To The Most Valuable Data.”
Subtitle: This hack is a game-changer.
It is a GAME CHANGER because it saves you time as a writer. When you can’t think of what to write next and feel story constipation, just do some scrolling along this Holy Grail Jackpot.
And you don’t have to feel bad for getting into someone else’s data base … it’s legit!
You can see EVERYTHING that has been written about a certain topic. I chose to scroll through Artfully Autistic and found it like a library on issues relating to neurodiversity.
It was like a peek in the collective minds of 200 neurodiverse people with a few clicks, and you could see the issues relating to neurodiversity in the past three years…and it was silver and gold.
Now is my time to stop talking and to let you start scrolling.
