These 5 Hair Raising Strategies Increase the Chance Your Medium Articles Will Be Found on Search Engines
and Read
My daily views have dived, like to the bottom of the ocean!
And my reads are below 40%!
I’m pulling out my hair because my read ratio hovered around 80%. I’ve worked hard to get there. My first Medium piece only had a 27% read ratio.
It had over 1.6K views, but only 442 reads. Medium used to pay only for reading time on a story. I was not concerned about the money.
I was concerned I was disappointing my reader.
Most articles about Medium stats focus on earnings and followers, I never cared about those.
I wanted to write well enough to keep readers reading. I wanted the reader to look forward to my words coming their way.
BUT 40%? Am I going backward?
I went exploring.
I had to figure this out.
In this piece, I will share what I found, and then discuss my plan going forward.
If you are bored out of your mind, here are the 5 strategies I’ll discuss.
- Answer one question
- Add a read-free marker at the beginning of each piece
