Trust me, we’ve all been there. You pour your heart and soul into your content, hoping for it to go viral, but sometimes it just doesn’t hit the mark. Well, worry not! I’m here to shed some light on why you might not be getting the views you deserve.

Let’s start with the obvious: Medium is an awesome platform for writing and getting paid. But here’s the catch — if your content doesn’t get viewed and read by paying Medium members, you won’t earn a dime. And if you’re like me, joining Medium with dreams of making money from your writing, the thought of your content not getting the views it needs can be a real bummer.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. Views don’t directly translate to getting paid by Medium. But here’s the thing — without views, your Medium content won’t earn a cent. So, let’s dive into a few reasons why your stories on Medium might not be attracting views, and, more importantly, how to fix them.

Reason #1: You’re new to the site and unknown to readers.

Listen, I get it. When you’re just starting out on Medium, it takes time to get discovered and build up those views. Many new writers on Medium make the mistake of expecting instant viral success within a month or two of joining. But let’s face it — that’s not very likely.
