I’m sorry but I can’t bring myself to clap for this. I thought at first that you were actually going to say something new but then it turned into Steve Jobs worship followed by the great reveal here’s my killer strategy for success on Medium!

In general I agree though — those “big” pubs take so long to respond you could go to your grave waiting. In fact many of the smaller ones are like that also when the owner and the editors all check out at once. Anyway, here’s my strategy called, “How to be happy on Medium.” I long ago gave up on making actual money.

Read a lot, find writers with heart, interact with them as in claps and well thought out responses, gradually build a little community and write for it.

This is where someone tells me no you gotta write for yourself. OK, myself too but then again I’m part of the community. I didn’t think I had to spell that out.
