I was Named a “Top Writer” at ManyStories
Does that mean anything?
Writing online with the intent of making money from that writing — well, it’s a challenge.
I’ve written here about finding a place where I can earn some extra money pretty reliably.
Not long ago, I discovered ManyStories.
It’s a site started by a Medium writer who wanted to give Medium stories a lift.
Here’s the thing: You can share ANY story. You can share stories you didn’t write, even.
The idea is that each profile — each user — is sharing stories that have meaning for them.
Sure, this could be a way to get some attention on your stories. Every click is a possible read is possible earnings.
But, like Medium, it’s also a bit of a community.
I’ve been a reader/user for just over a month now.
Today’s email — that’d I’d been the number 4 writer — came as a nice surprise.
All this means is that I’m the number 4 person in terms of sharing stories.
Most of those are mine — so, I’m just a top self-promoter.
Still, those badges are nice incentives.
I will also say this: Since staring my ManyStories journey, I’ve definitely seen an uptick in my Medium reads.
Of course, I use ManyStories to share content from NewsBreak and Substack as well.
The point: ManyStories can help you reach new readers.
