As there is not a lot of original material in this story I thought it would be right to credit the original authors of the material first. Most of the content of this story was taken from the following posts:

• Medium’s official blogHow to Get Read on Medium
• How I Got 6.2 Million Pageviews and 144,920 Followers
• 35 Actionable Tips to Grow Your Medium Blog
• How to Use Medium: The Complete Guide to Medium for Marketers

I’ve never written a successful post on Medium. Actually, I have never written a successful post anywhere. The only reason I started writing this piece was because at my organization we are focusing on a content marketing strategy and I wanted to share with my team a “condensed” version of the hundreds of best practices I’ve found for writing a good post and increasing the chances of getting traction. As there are no secrets to it and it might be useful for other people also I thought it would be good to share it publicly....
