Please tell me I'm not the only one who hits publish, only to return 30 minutes later and check my stats.

If you’re like me, try implementing these tips’n tricks to drive engagement and increase your success on the Medium platform — before checking your stats.

1. Read, Clap, & Respond to at least one article.

Try to build the habit of reading at least one article every time you hop on Medium. Let’s be honest. The more you read, the better you’ll write. That, and Medium is about writers supporting writers.

Read, clap, and respond. By doing so, you’ll be putting your name out there by engaging with others. From my experience, they often return the favor. Especially to those who leave a comment.

You’re also exposing yourself to other individuals who respond to the article, as they’ll see your comments.

But please, please, for the love of God, don’t write something basic like “great advice”, or “very inspirational.”

That’ll get you nowhere and offers no real benefit to the writer.
