Importing Your Content to Medium
Medium offers an import tool that allows you to bring your blog posts from other platforms to Medium.com. It’s important to note that the tool may not import images and videos in some cases. However, with a few simple steps, you can manually add them before publishing. Let’s get started:
Save a copy of your blog post as a draft on Medium.
Import all the text and formatting from your original post to Medium.
Add a link to the original post with the rel=canonical tag at the bottom of the imported post.
Before publishing, there are a few essential tasks you need to complete to prepare the imported post.
Enhance Your Imported Content
Adding visuals to your post can significantly enhance the reading experience. If your article only contains text, consider incorporating relevant images to make it more engaging. If you don’t have any images, numerous websites offer free image resources. For those already having images in the original content, download and upload them to the imported post. Click on “See your story” to begin editing and adding multimedia.
Note: In some cases, Medium.com automatically imports and uploads images to their server.
Optimize Your Post for Success
The key to optimizing your post lies in customizing the title and permalink to make them search engine friendly. Click on “Customize link” to personalize the link. Additionally, it’s crucial to include relevant tags to make your story more discoverable. Medium allows up to 5 tags per post. Click on the dropdown link next to “Publish” and add suitable tags.
Pro Tip: Take advantage of Medium’s tag usage data to select popular and relevant tags. You can even create your own tags if none of the suggested options fit.
Publish and Beyond
Congratulations! Your Medium.com story is now live. Take a moment to visit our Medium blog and see an example of republished content. Medium also offers publications, providing an excellent opportunity to create brand-specific or topic-specific publications. These publications can enhance your exposure and attract a larger following.
Note: You can choose to import content and schedule it for future publishing. However, keep in mind that when you import content to Medium, it retains the original publication date.
Track Your Success
Now that you’ve published your post, it’s time to analyze your performance. Medium provides detailed statistics for both your profile and publications. By clicking on “Referrers” under any story, you gain valuable insights into your audience and post performance.
Important for Traffic Boost: While Medium.com isn’t a platform you own, it offers excellent control over your content syndication efforts. You have full control over managing your syndication, expanding your reach, and gaining recognition from a wider audience.
