Use These Top 11 Tags If You Want Your Stories To Go Viral

Tags are a super important element for every Medium story. They are the first impressions to share your story with more audiences.

If we break the top 11 tags into niches, the top niches receive the most readers on Medium. If you write in one of these categories, I can assure you that your story will receive maximum exposure.

Then it’s up to your writing style and a compelling story; if people enjoy it, they’ll comment, clap, and share it, which will give it a push.

For more engagement

I highly recommend this story to increase the engagement of your stories.

In short, you need to focus on these 5things:

1. Read a lot on Medium
2. Write
3. Follow
4. Clap
5. Give genuine comments
6. Highlight the important stuff if you like

In 2022, these are the top 11 tags on Medium.

1. Life — 621k
2. Blockchain — 568k
3. Poetry — 541k
4. Life Lessons — 524k
5. Startup — 521k
6. Cryptocurrency — 451k
7. Health — 432k
8. Politics- 429k
9. Technology — 418k
10. Love — 411k
11. Writing — 401k

Always use the proper tags. I always look at the tags as the short (one/two-word title) title of the story. Wrong tags can mislead the reader, detrimental to your virality and earning potential. Always use the five tags!

Caveat

You may not have more views even after using the popular tags if your story is weak.
