🏃🏻♂️ How to grow on Medium? (+FREE DOWNLOAD 🎁)
Instead of building his own website for posting blog posts, Ucha started a Medium account and utilized the organic traffic and monetizes his content.
I enjoy speaking with entrepreneurs and content creators because I can offer various strategies for building your personal brand and business, straight from the front lines.
This week I had a chat with Ucha Vekua who shared his formula for growing on Medium. I must admit that before our conversation I didn't know much about Medium, except that people post long form articles there.
💡Discovery platforms give additional boost
Ucha is a content creator, copywriter, and podcast host. Instead of building his own website for posting blog posts, he started a Medium account and utilized the organic traffic that can be obtained from this discovery platform, especially since he monetizes his content.
The framework
Engage with others
Ucha is reading the latest articles by creators he enjoys, highlights the best parts, leaves comments, and gives claps. By interacting with others, he builds his presence outside of his own circle.
Challenge yourself for 30 days
He suggests challenging yourself by starting a 30-day writing and posting challenge. Doing so will increase the algorithm's awareness of your activity and intentions on this platform.
Collaborate with others
Increase your exposure as a writer by contributing to larger creators. Some of these creators offer such opportunities. These publications have a large readership, which means you'll receive more visibility for your work.
