Hey Heidi! Your writing is great. After publishing more than a few numbers of article medium, I realized to do better in medium when you don't have enough followers, you need to get help from publications. Publish your article to any publication and reach their followers.

If no one is reading your article then that's a flop. You need to reach as many readers possible. And, to reach many readers at the beginning, you need to have published your article in medium publications.

For this kind of article The Writing Cooperative would be best match. Even publishing your article in those publications also mean you write something qualityfull as those publications only publish quality articles.

Reach their readers. This is how you'll get one step further of your writing money from medium game.

I've published many articles previously but couldn't make any dime from them. But I just published my last 2 articles in Better Marketing(one of the top medium publication) and in two weeks I just earned $80 . isn't it incredible?

So, from now one promise yourself one thing that you will always publish your article in any medium's publication. You can take it as friendly advice who also got this advice from somewhere else.
