Hi Areeb,
First off, I admire your dedication to writing for Mr. Plan B—it’s fantastic that you’re putting your voice out there! Lack of interactions can feel discouraging, but it’s a common hurdle for many writers, especially when starting out or experimenting with new niches. Here are a few tips that might help you increase your engagement:
1. Analyze Your Audience: Have you considered who your target readers are? Understanding their preferences and challenges can help you tailor your content to their interests.
2. Create Engaging Headlines: A catchy, thought-provoking headline is often the first thing that grabs a reader's attention. Try making your titles more curiosity-driven or benefit-focused.
3. Optimize Formatting: Medium readers love content that’s easy to skim. Use subheadings, bullet points, and short paragraphs to keep readers engaged.
4. Leverage Social Sharing: Promote your articles on platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, or relevant Facebook groups. Sometimes, building traction outside Medium brings more readers in.
5. Engage With Others: Commenting thoughtfully on articles in your niche can attract readers to your profile. It’s a great way to build relationships and visibility.
6. Experiment With Topics: If one niche isn’t gaining traction, try blending personal stories with actionable advice, or addressing trending topics to see what resonates.
Remember, success on Medium often comes from consistency and experimentation. Keep writing, stay curious, and tweak your strategy as you learn. You’re on the right path, and your interactions will grow with time and persistence!
All the best,
J.
