How can I join the Boost Nomination Program? How are Boost Nomination Program applicants selected?
Please note, we are not reviewing new applications at this time.
These are the factors we consider:
- A focused publication topic
- Boostable stories that fit with the Medium Distribution Guidelines
- Publication editors with a strong POV or expertise on a subject
- Clear publication submission guidelines
Factors that we don’t look at when considering publications for the Boost Nomination Program:
- The number of followers a publication or its editor have
- How old the publication is
- The popularity of the publication’s writers.
We focus on editor selection on factors like publication topics, editor experience, and Boostable stories – not popularity.
Participation Criteria
To remain as an active member of the Boost Nomination Program, participants submit at least one nomination for Boost per month, maintain a nomination approval rate above 20%, and adhere to the Medium Trust & Safety guidelines.
This means that participants may be removed from the program for any of the following reasons:
- 1 month of inactivity, without prior notice.
- Violation of Trust & Safety guidelines.
Participants are given 10 days notice before the end of their participation in the Boost Nomination Program.
Being removed from the Boost Nomination Program program does not impact a user’s Medium membership nor continued enrollment in the Medium Partner Program, and previous nominators aren't restricted from potentially re-joining the program in the future.
