If Medium Doesn't Bring You Views and Reads, Do This Simple Thing
If Medium Doesn't Bring You Views and Reads, Do This Simple Thing
You can control how much you get read on Medium.
Have your views and reads disappeared?
It’s a pain all of us on Medium have suffered lately. Especially since June. Medium changed the algorithm a lot.
So what now?
You have two choices:
play the victim: sit down and complain about it
take control: adapt and find new ways to grow
You can control this.
It’s simple.
Start an atomic newsletter.
Atomic newsletters are mini newsletters that take just a few minutes to write and as much to read. You can send them daily, weekly, or anything in between.
If you’re passionate about a topic and read a lot about it, why not collect the most valuable stuff you read and send it over to your subscribers? Just a few bullets. That’s it! Takes 5 minutes to do it.
Seriously!
I hesitated starting my CREATIVE BiTES atomic newsletter because I thought I’d only need to invest even more time in writing. I was wrong. It’s really 5 minutes per day.
The best part? With Medium you don’t have to start from scratch. Simply export your Medium subscribers and start building from there.
Want more views and reads on Medium?
Simple. Just add a link to your latest story on Medium and…
Voila!
You’ve got more views and reads!
With time your subscriber list will grow to the point where you will be able to generate enough daily views on your Medium to make a difference for your earnings.
It’s real.
Recently I had one of my articles shared in Jamie’s newsletter, which has 8k+ subscribers with 35% open rate.
For the following 4 days I got:
125 views
64 reads
$5.12 earnings
See? I told you! It’s real!
You CAN control your views and reads on Medium.
My newsletter is still small, so I don’t get that effect yet, but I’m confident I’ll get there. I see similar open rates and my click rates gravitate around 5% which is above the industry average according to Beehiiv.
Struggling with subscriber growth?
Build your newsletter to Substack and start using Notes. It’s a huge game-changer.
Right now my subscribers on Substack grow with 19 per day!
It happened after I started using Notes daily. It’s more than the followers I gain on Medium (not to mention subscribers)!
It’s insane!
Bottom line
Don’t count on the algorithm. If you struggle with views and reads on Medium, find new ways to grow. Building an atomic newsletter is one way to do it.
Take control.
Adapt.
Own your audience.
Build a newsletter. It will not only help for Medium. It’s your foundation for a successful writing career.
Thanks for reading!
