Erica’s comments from the Navigating Indieworld Discussing All Things Indie group.

Already saw it and clapped. ;)

We are a pretty relaxed group, Peter. Share away. :)

Same here. I had to stop checking those numbers daily a long time ago. They were too depressing. I check them weekly now.

I am glad my medium addiction is doing some good. Haha!

That's awesome, Alex! I bet it was featured at one point!

It is actually very useful to be able to see where the traffic is coming from.

If you see one that has medium.com/topic/_______, whatever word is in the blank may be (or may have been) a homepage topic that it is/was featured under.

I can see it on explorer too with my pc. I can't see it on the app or my phone.

Under your title should be the length of the read, view story, and referrers. I am using the Firefox browser.

Alex, you mentioned you were getting some traction on your recent article. You should check referers to see if it is being featured anywhere. Go to stats and (depending on your device) you should be able to click referrers under the title. It will show you where all the traffic is coming from. See if any of the addresses is from one of the main medium sections then go there an scan the featured articles. Worth a look. :)

Thank you Carole and Alex! I have had 4 or 5 articles I haven't shared here. I am glad you enjoyed my college article Carole. That was another one that was very different for me, but I enjoyed writing it. The one being featured in the media section is the research article.

I know it is challenging for you, but for what it is worth, I think you do a great job socializing. You are very real and relatable.

Ok, so I am pretty pumped about this. I published a new article on medium yesterday that is completely different from all my others. I didn't share it here because I have been posting a lot and trying not to annoy everyone. ;) I had some followers after posting and when I checked the reach referrers I discovered that my article is one of the featured articles under the "media" section (i have not the faintest idea how it landed there)! No claps as of yet, but it is pretty cool that it is getting some notice and being featured!

I like the social aspect of the marketing. If only there wasn't so much research and trial and error.

Way to go, Eldon! Good luck with marketing. Not my favorite part of writing either.

Sorry to hear that, Dale. Best of luck with your next submission.

Haha, thanks Carmel! :)

Thank you! You guys are the best!

Clapped, Dale! Here is a new one for me too: https://medium.com/@egraham040/readin...

I just have to say, I have been reading a lot of articles while networking on medium, and the writers in this group have some serious skill! Keep 'em coming!
