Sometimes your Medium post is not going to get the attention you think it deserves. It could be because you published it when most of your followers were asleep, and when they finally logged on your post was already buried in their Medium feeds.
If you truly believe your post is too valuable to receive only a few ‘claps’
then you should consider deleting and republishing the post after, say, a few weeks or months.
Deleting a Medium post shouldn’t take you more than a second or two. If that content was imported from another site, like your own self-hosted blog, then you can easily re-import again.
Otherwise, if you wrote it specifically for Medium, then you may have to copy the content somewhere else first before deleting the post.
Before you hit the publish button, check and make sure a large percentage of your followers are still up (depends on where in the world they are located).
When it’s published, let your Facebook, Twitter, and other social media fans know as well. Promoting your Medium story on other platforms should be standard practice.
After all, you do want to get the most out of the time you spent researching and writing your story!
