Hi Matt, I stumbled upon your story and I must say it’s worth every minute of my reading time. I could sense the sincerity of your writing. Because of that, I gave you 3 claps! I have also shared your article with my writers in my own publication, Anecdotes of Academia.
I have also devised a strategy to use platforms such as Wakelet, Flipboard, Pinterest and Google Sites to aggregate my Medium stories and I think the visibility of my Medium stories have increased significantly. I wrote about this in my piece here: Four Ways (Platforms) to Increase the Visibility of Your Medium Articles.
