Meet 60+ publishers in the Boost Nomination Pilot
One of the big questions people ask about the Boost Nomination Pilot I’m managing is who the nominators are, and which publications are participating. So, let’s taco ‘bout it! 🌮
First, to review how all this works
Medium’s Boost Nomination Pilot is our experimental program to work in collaboration with Medium publication editors to nominate high-quality stories for Boost.
Nominators can nominate stories in their topical focus, regardless of whether the stories are in their publications.
These nominations are reviewed by Medium’s internal curation team to see if they line up with Medium’s Quality Guidelines.
If a nominated story is selected for Boost by our curators, it gets higher priority to be distributed in readers’ feeds. Nominators may also get financial compensation up to $900 US per month.
Nominations from Boost Nomination Pilot participants account for only about half of the stories selected for Boost. The other half of Boosted stories are sourced directly by our internal curation team, which organically reviews hundreds of stories from all across Medium all day, every day. You can read more here about what happens to your story after it’s published on Medium, and if you’re curious about how our curators assess stories, you can read their training manual.
Boosting is just one way that stories get distributed across Medium. Every month, there are five times more stories that reach large audiences that have NOT been Boosted.
