Exploring the Most Engaging Articles on Medium: Insights Revealed
Written on
Chapter 1: Understanding Reader Engagement
Over the past three years on Medium, during which I have authored more than 3,500 articles, I have explored various factors that affect article views and readership. In this piece, I aim to share my thoughts on the kinds of articles that resonate most with readers and the reasons behind their popularity.
We will begin by examining those articles for which I invested significant effort but received minimal attention. These were pieces that discussed broad topics without integrating any personal insights.
In contrast, the articles that garnered the most positive responses were those where I shared my personal experiences or opinions on specific subjects. Particularly, topics related to my experiences on Medium or my journey to lose weight attracted ten times more views compared to general discussions.
This trend likely stems from the fact that Medium readers are often seeking insights from individuals who have firsthand experience with particular issues. Personally, I also gravitate towards articles written by authors sharing their personal narratives instead of generalized information readily available on Google or ChatGPT.
For those aiming to boost their readership, my advice is to incorporate personal viewpoints into your articles. This strategy can significantly enhance engagement, ultimately leading to increased views.
