Are you looking for various ways to promote your blog and get more traffic.
Then Medium.com will help you with.
Medium is wonderful platform you should consider for sure, as a part of your blog promotion strategies.
Medium.com has around 236 Million monthly visits. That’s a huge traffic right?
And the best part is you can make effective use of this traffic by publishing your blogs there.
Here are some tips which can help you with effectively blogging on Medium and get benefited:
1.Have a Disciplined Routine
The very first tip I would like to mention is you should have a disciplined routine and blog on a consistent basis.
Consistent here I do not mean you should blog every day (it would be great if you can do so 🙂 ).
Even if you write or re-publish 2 blogs per week would be helpful. But the only thing is you should maintain this consistency.
Do not publish 3 blogs this week and then publish other 2 blogs after 2 or Months. It is not a recommended strategy and hence maintain consistency.Â
2. Never get worried about the number of views or followers
This is what I always recommend to all the newbie bloggers or people who are planning to start their own blog – never get worried on what others think about your blog, never get worried on how many views or followers you are getting.
Just keep writing.
This is how great writers improve themselves.
People who have thousands of views and followers did not have it from the beginning.
They just maintained consistency in their blogging and never got worried on what other people are thinking about their blog.
3. Highlight your favorite quote and share it in your social channels
The better way to attract more traffic to your Medium blog is to highlight your favorite quote from the blog and then share in your social channels.
Medium has this option integrated inside their platform and is very easy to do it.
4. Write for various publications
There are various publications available in Medium who have thousands of followers.Â
If you can approach them and get the opportunity of publishing your blog in those platforms then it would be very beneficial, as all the followers of that particular publication will be able to see your post.
5. Make effective use of bio
After the end of every blog, Medium will show your bio to readers. Make effective use of this bio.
Add your own blog URL here so that people can directly click there and land in your blog.
Also, try to mention on what exactly you do, topics you blog on etc.
6. Have Patience
Patience is the key to success in blogging. Do not expect lots of traffic, followers or views from the day 1.
As mentioned above, you just keep writing consistently and have patience.
Over time you can slowly notice the magic that is happening.
For being a successful blogger a lot of patience is required and this is one of the reasons why people quit, as they do not have it.
Please do remember that everyone can start blogging, but it is only patience and consistency that brings you success.
7. Attract Email Leads
This is one of the best hack people try to do from their Medium blogs.
They try to offer free e-books or other free resources in exchange of your email id.
This way they will increase their email list and then use email marketing later.
If you do not have any resource to offer, you can just ask them to join email list to get in touch.
So make sure to make the best use of it.

8. Ask people to share and follow
Most of the people will follow and share your blog if they like it. But there are few categories of people who will do it if you can request them to do so.
So make sure you asking people to follow your profile and share your blog post, you can do this at the end of the blog.
9. Make effective use of stats
Medium has a very good feature of providing stats of your blogs.Â
Through this stats you will come to know on which are the most popular posts of yours, and then can help strategize for future posts.
For example, if you had found that one of your very lengthy blogs has got many views and shares, then next time you can start writing more lengthy blogs and try your luck.
10. Use tags to increase your reach
While publishing your blog posts on Medium, you will be provided to add tags related to the blog topic.
There are many already created tags and you can observe few tags which are been followed by thousands of people.
If you make these existing tags with many followers, then there is more scope of your blog getting more views.
11. Internal link your posts
This is another best way for people to follow you and share your posts.
Internal link one post to the other, so that users who are reading one blog can visit other blog through this link.
This will make user understand more about your writings and may start slowly following you, and can even share your posts.
Hence, make effective use of these internal links.
It is not just for Medium blogs, the same strategy can be applied in your own blogging site.
