A Game-Changing Strategy for Medium Writers
Can you please follow me?
I hate this sentence.
It feels like you are begging to be followed.
On the other hand, I know, It can be frustrating to pour your heart and soul into a blog post only to receive crickets in response.
But don’t despair!
There’s a simple trick that can help increase your visibility, engagement, and earnings on the platform. It’s called the Rule of 3, and it’s a game-changer.
The Rule of 3 is simple: choose 3 Medium accounts you haven’t interacted with before, and follow this rule for each of them:
- Choose 3 of their blog posts
- Clap for each post
- Leave a valuable comment on each post
The goal is to get into their notification for 3 days. By following the same format for 3 Medium accounts, you’ll increase your reading time and engagement. And as a result, your earnings will also increase.
Let me share a personal story to illustrate the power of this rule.
I was stuck in my Medium journey and wasn’t sure how to get more visibility for my writing.
That’s when I discovered the Rule of 3 somewhere on Linkedin.
I was skeptical at first, but I decided to give it a try. I chose 3 Medium accounts that I admired, followed the rule for each of them, and watched as my reading time and earnings grew. It was amazing!
So, let’s dive into the details of how this rule works.
Step #1: Choose 3 Medium Accounts You Haven’t Interacted With Before
The first step is to choose 3 Medium accounts that you admire but haven’t interacted with before.
This could be a writer whose work you admire or a publication that aligns with your interests. It’s important to choose accounts you genuinely like so that your claps and comments are genuine and valuable.
Step #2: Choose 3 of Their Blog Posts
Once you’ve chosen your 3 Medium accounts, the next step is to select 3 of their blog posts to engage with. Make sure to choose posts that you genuinely enjoy, so your comments will be genuine and valuable.
Step #3: Clap for Each Post
Clapping is a way of showing your appreciation for a post on Medium. The more claps a post receives, the more visibility it will get on the platform. So, give each of the 3 posts a good clap!
Step #4: Leave a Valuable Comment on Each Post
The final step is to leave a valuable comment on each of the 3 posts. This is where you can share your thoughts and ideas, and engage with the writer.
Make sure your comments are genuine, helpful, and add value to the post. This will help you stand out and increase the chances of the writer and their followers seeing your comment.
By following the Rule of 3, you’ll increase your visibility and engagement on Medium.
And, as a result, your earnings will grow. It’s a simple and effective way to build a following and make an impact on the platform.
Don’t be afraid to be bold and opinionated when writing your comments. Express your own opinions and ideas, and use a friendly and informal tone.
Keep your writing simple, and use personal stories and anecdotes to make it relatable and engaging.
So, what are you waiting for?
Give the Rule of 3 a try and watch your Medium journey take off! Let me know in the comments how it works for you.
