Publications Are Still The Key To Reach The Wider Audience
As you might know, I have been writing an article a day with my 100 Articles in 100 Days challenge.
With my quest to publish an article a day, I have been publishing them first on my profile and then sending them to publications. Some publications allow that (and I am very thankful to them), but others only accept articles in draft mode.
I have often published articles on my profile only to find that they don’t get read much. I have a very small following (2.1K at the time of writing this article) which has been growing steadily but slowly.
I am beginning to think that to reach a wider audience, I can no longer ignore big publications.
Medium threw a spanner in the works. Many publications I wanted to target have already been shut down or in the process of shutting down.
In next few days, I am going to concentrate on writing for publications. I will still be writing an article a day but I will let it sit for a day or two and then go over it with fresh eyes before sending it to a publication.
This could mean you may not see an article from me everyday.
To keep the Medium algorithm happy, I might write some filler articles to fill the gap.
