Hey Exuberant! Thank you so much for this! Curation is something on Medium where they have people in the company review you article after it’s published and “curation” just means they deem it quality enough to show to a wider audience on the platform. It’s sort of weird. Curation basically means more eyeballs on it. :)
Thanks for the clear explanation, Khadejah. So every article published on Medium gets this consideration to be potentially “curated” it sounds like? I assumed it was a random process (and somewhat subjective to the “curator’s” opinion).
I saw this in a course that clarity is very important to make your writing effective. your consistency is admirable. I am focusing on substack and I don't think it's feasible for me to publish every day. I am trying to maintain a rhythm of twice a week.
Thank you so much for this Ebere! Ya, I don’t publish every day anymore either lol. Since I moved to Substack, I want to put more emphasis on quality. ❤️💪
I love what you said about aiming for clarity. It really resonated with me when you said we read to unwind and to keep the sentences short. Personal stories do humanize us and make us more relatable. And as you know, writing what you love makes everything you produce much better. I am learning to just let the topic go if I'm not passionate. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, thank you so much for this comment Bee! This means so much to me! Ya, clarity is always the way to go and it took me a while to realize that lol. ❤️💪
This text was extremely helpful to me. A month ago, I started writing on Medium. I'm completely WRONG about "restraining" myself from often posting "so I don't drown people out."
You understand how much this text is a game-changer for me! Thank you!
However, Medium doesn't have Notes, and I'm sitting in a corner where no one can see me and from where I can't do anything to be seen. How do you even get visible on Medium?
No problem Mladena! I love to help any way I can! For Medium, it’s weird. It’s more of a place to publish articles which is why Substack is a lot better in my opinion. Plus the visibility on Substack is MILES better than Medium. To get visibility on Medium, it’s really just about studying what goes viral on there and posting consistently (at least 3-5 articles per week). Let me know if you have any other questions! ❤️💪
Very impressive accomplishment on your part to write in that volume! Please expand a little bit more on "curation" and what that means?

That’s exactly what it is Exuberant! Spot on! :)
