How to choose a publication

Bigger is not always better. A publication with 15K followers can bury your story among dozens of daily posts, while a smaller, active publication that features new writers often brings more reads per story. Look at three numbers above: followers (potential reach), median claps (how much readers actually engage) and the share of small writers (your chances of being accepted).

For context, Freelancing sees about 24 new stories a day and 48% of them get no claps at all. Getting into a publication is one of the few reliable ways out of that pile. See the full Freelancing tag statistics.
