Publish Post

Finally, your post is ready to be published, click the publish button. This will automatically take you to a page where you can add tags; select a particular scheduled date for publishing your article.

It is worth to mention the checkbox that gives you the option of making your article available for mediums curator to review. After review, your article can become a part of Medium’s metered pay wall.

In case you do not want to schedule for a later date, you are ready to publish now, your tags are added, your subtitle is well customized, and your checkbox is green, then it is time to click the “Publish Now” button.

Interacting on the Medium Platform

Recommend and Share Content: Like every social media, you appreciate a post by clicking on like button and sharing the post, but here we use the word “Recommend”.

Always make a conscious attempt to “recommend” other people’s articles by clicking the green “clap” icon at the bottom of the story. The system is designed in such a way that the writer gets a notification by default when you click the “clap” icon.

The more recommendations a story receives, the higher the probability of being shared on the Medium platform. One of the criteria for selecting “Medium Top Stories” is the stories with the highest recommendations.

Hi @Parameter. Thank you for all of your useful training. I appreciate you sharing what you know. I've been writing on Medium for two years and I love it. I would caution users, however, about including affiliate links in the posts. The best way to reach a wider Medium audience is to get your article curated (selected to be distributed by Medium in certain topics). Curated articles tend to generate revenue from the partner program long after they're first posted. However, curators won't choose any articles that have affiliate links to be shared with followers of their topics. This is just to warn writers new to Medium about the rules. If you post too many articles that are not selected to be curated, it takes you out of the running for this option. To really build an audience on Medium it is important to polish your writing, follow the guidelines (ie. list the source for your images) and promote your work. Be sure to include your website link in your bio and you can have a very subtle link to a contact form for your email list, but it just has to be the link these days. It is a fun platform that will help you hone your writing skills and you can make some money from Medium itself for your content (if you join the partner program).

Hi Parameter, I was aware Medium is a free traffic source and thank you for the timely reminder. Your training is brilliant - thank you. I'm working on a family game and am wanting to test it and get feedback. I would be grateful if you could discuss with me how best to do this by Private Message. Thanks you. Cheers Jill
