I have exciting news! Earlier this week, I received a special message from Medium stating I had been selected to participate in Medium’s brand-new Boost Nomination Pilot. This means if your story or article is truly great, I will be able to submit your story for a coveted Medium Boost.
Boosting has become a hot topic on Medium recently and I’m excited to help my fellow writers and authors.
What is Boosting?
Beginning June 1, 2023, the editors at TTO will be allowed to choose the best articles and submit them to Medium curators. We are only able to submit a select few articles so if you submit a story, it needs to be your best work. You can see Medium curators' standards below.

Medium is an open platform where new writers, seasoned writers, passionate professionals, and people with a vital story…help.medium.com
Once your story is submitted, the Medium curators will review it, and if chosen, you could be in for one wild ride!
Tony Stubblebine, Medium CEO, has stated any article boosted will receive 500 views and possibly thousands more! The sudden jump in views causes the algorithm to recommend your article to even more readers. As a member of the Medium Partner Program (MPP), your article could earn REAL CASH! Hundreds of dollars kind of real cash. It has happened before and you could be next!
Why Is Medium Doing This?
It’s no surprise that Medium has lots of writers. When there are so many voices, it’s easy to get lost in the noise.
Did you read a Where’s Waldo book when you were a kid? My brothers and I loved those. On each page in the book, you’ll find hundreds of tiny, unique and special people, but you’re looking for Waldo, the main character. Some kids were really good at finding him and my brothers and I had different systems for scanning the hundreds of objects on the pages.
But as the youngest of three boys, what I really wanted, was someone to help me. All of the systems, finger pointing, and upside-down book holding didn’t matter because I needed to find Waldo ASAP before my brothers got bored and moved on to another game without me.
So, too, are Medium’s curation team unable to find amazingly great stories before the authors get bored, leave, or worse, believe they aren’t good enough.
Well, take it from me. You are good enough!
Medium just needs help finding you.
How Will TTO Choose What to Boost?
Medium specifically asked me to look for articles matching TTO’s main publication topics:
General Philosophy
Religion
Taoism
Nature
Analysis on Personal Life Lessons
Spirituality
We can submit any article on Medium as long as it follows Medium’s quality standards above and isn’t older than six months from the date of submission.
