Small hacks to make your stories go viral on Medium!

Medium is a great platform, but If you want your article to go viral, you need to understand how Medium’s algorithm works.
In this article, you will learn some important hacks to increase your story’s reach.

1. The first hour is crucial for engagement.

If more likes, comments, and a high read ratio (Read Rate) are received in the first 30-60 minutes, the article will be pushed to more people.

⏬ hack

• Engagement Circle – Get your friends or followers to engage with your article within the first hour.
• Share your article on Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit, as well as on Medium.
• Publish your article at the right time when your target audience is most active.

2. Read Ratio should be more

Medium's algorithm not only tracks engagement but also monitors whether the article is fully read. If only one user reads 30-50%, it's not a good sign.

⏬ hack:

• Start your story in a beautiful, brief introduction.
• Write small simple sentences, not big paragraphs.
