Personal Experience as a Foundation

To begin, I've been blogging for seven years, successfully managing a couple of niche blogs while also working full-time as an SEO Manager. I utilize the same strategies for a variety of clients in my role. In this Medium post, I chose to share insights on how I format blog posts for enhanced engagement. Since I was drawing from my own experiences, minimal research was necessary.

Providing Tangible Advice

The story was packed with ten actionable formatting tips for blog posts. Readers appreciate concrete advice, which can significantly boost your story's visibility and interaction. Higher engagement translates to better performance overall.

Effective Story Formatting

In retrospect, since the story revolved around formatting blog posts for better engagement, it made sense to apply those very tips to the story itself. Formatting a Medium post isn't complex; just avoid crowding too many sentences together. Remember, readers often skim through articles, so make your content easy to digest.

Crafting an Engaging Title

I paused for a moment while working on the title and really considered its impact. There are numerous resources on creating catchy titles, but how do you ensure yours stands out? Personally, I envision myself as the target reader. For instance, a title like "My Blog Receives Over 120,000 Visits Monthly: Here's How I Format for Better Engagement!" clearly speaks to bloggers. If I were scrolling through my feed and came across that, I'd definitely click on it.

Now, consider the title of this article: "Maximizing Earnings on Medium: A $94 Success Story." As a Medium author, would I be inclined to click on that? Absolutely, without hesitation!

The Importance of a Clear Introduction

A straightforward introduction is a key tactic for achieving a high read ratio. My story featured a concise intro, which significantly contributed to its success.

Leveraging Active Publications

I published the story in one of my favorite active publications, "Write a Catalyst." It's important to note the word "active," as not every publication is worth your time. I took the initiative to sift through 850 publications and compiled a list of the top 125 active ones across various niches.

Using Tags Effectively

On Medium, tags are referred to as topics. These keywords encapsulate the theme of your story. For my post, I selected tags that closely aligned with the content and made sure to use all five available slots.
