I acquired bored with sitting on the sidelines.
I attempted once more. I studied the web site attempting to determine the best way to succeed. I studied the highest writers. I checked out how they wrote their articles, the place they posted them, and how they promoted them.
I realized about publications–these mini-magazines on Medium. I acquired accepted to a prime publication. After that, it was off to the races.
My site visitors began to develop. I acquired accepted into extra publications. I acquired extra site visitors from Medium than all the different web sites I posted on.
I finished posting on different web sites altogether.
On the time, the Medium didn’t pay writers, however I used to be getting a bunch of site visitors and e mail subscribers.
