Growing A Medium Publication From Scratch

A chat with Jon Hawkins on how he built The Apeiron Blog from the ground up and hit 6k followers in 6 months.

Some points Jon mentioned that stuck with me regarding building your publication:

1. Don’t think you HAVE to build a publication and then look for ideas. Think of a niche first, and then build your publication around it.
2. Treat every story on your publication as a representative piece. If a new user were to read that story and judge your publication, would its quality reflect your editorial standards?

This whole chat is filled with such amazing insights not just about publications, but about writing, editing, and building a following. Watch the full video to know more.
