Unlocking Success: 7 Innovative Strategies for Medium Growth
Written on
Chapter 1: Embracing a Broader Approach
If you're familiar with my writing, you know I prefer not to confine myself to a specific niche. I believe that limiting my content can hinder creativity. However, this method has its drawbacks when it comes to growth. Focusing on a particular niche can attract a dedicated readership that is more likely to engage consistently. In contrast, my diverse topics may not always retain readers.
To combat this challenge, I have immersed myself in extensive research and have been testing various strategies for growth. Some methods yield positive results, while others fall short. I’m committed to sharing both the successful tactics and those that didn’t work out as planned.

For those interested in my Medium growth strategies, here’s a comprehensive list:
Section 1.1: The Idealist's Influence
Inspired by a fellow writer, I created a spreadsheet to track the individuals who engage with my posts regularly. This helps ensure that I acknowledge their support.
Section 1.2: Community Engagement Post-Publication
As advised by Bin, I now dedicate at least 30 minutes after releasing a new article to interact with my community, boosting engagement and highlighting my latest activity.
Subsection 1.2.1: Experimenting with Frequency
Recently, I participated in a contest organized by Bin Jiang, leading me to post multiple times a day. This has resulted in noticeable growth! My aim is to maintain a consistent presence on Medium to signal my activity to the algorithm, hoping to receive a favorable boost.
Subsection 1.2.2: Maintaining Quality Over Quantity
In the heat of the contest, I compromised on quality, which led to a decline in my views. I’m now prioritizing the caliber of my writing to meet my audience's expectations.
Section 1.3: Building Connections with Like-Minded Writers
I have begun exploring new accounts to connect with individuals who share similar interests, fostering a supportive community.
Section 1.4: Enhancing Visual Appeal
I've decided to incorporate carefully chosen landscape images into my stories, along with relevant captions. I’ve learned that the selection of images is crucial; overly large portraits can be off-putting to readers.
Section 1.5: Acknowledging Contributions
To show my appreciation and contribute to my community, I plan to occasionally highlight individuals and their noteworthy stories within my own writings.
