This Creation is going to be relatively simple, yet effective. Consider this a hack to massively boost your viewership without needing much skill/time/effort.
There's an old saying that "once you take the first step, the next ten become easy". The same is true on Milyin also, keep reading, you are going to learn my favourite hack.

Hello, I am Aditya Agarwal, co-founder at Milyin. This is Becoming Creator, a weekly series dedicated to helping Creators grow their audience and become better.
What is a Published Creation?
Seems like an obvious question. You'd think setting the status as "publish" and saving a Creation makes it published. Right?
Wrong. To prevent accidental publishing and give the Creator a chance to modify the Creation. In addition, sometimes Creators might want to make some last-minute adjustments. That's why the Creation remains in "Publish Preview" until someone intentionally views your Creation.
Once someone views your Creation, following things happen:
- Your Creation Status becomes "Published"
- All your followers are sent Notifications about your Creation.
- Home Feed starts more aggressively showing your creation and gaining your views.
- Your Creation becomes eligible to be included in the Weekly Digest Email Newsletter.
Secret Hack For Views - Self Views
Reading the above pointers, it is obvious that once you are sure about your Creation, you definitely want it to become "Published" so that your followers are notified about it, and can discover the same in feed.
For Creation to become "Published" you need the first view, and that first view comes hard.
So, the hack is simple - View your own Creations after publish.
Why? Well, viewing your own Creation gives you a chance to see the Creation from the audience's POV and make changes. At the same time, it also changes the status to publish, sending Notifications to followers.
Most of the time even without doing this, you will eventually get the first view and get your Creation published.
But it's better to do it yourself since the first 2-3 hours of any Creation are usually make or break in terms of chance of success, so it is important to start on the right foot.
So, the pro tip is to view your Creation.
How Self Views Will Help You Grow?
We are NOT doing it for the views. 1 view won't make a difference for anyone.
But, that view will make the Creation truly published, and attract all your followers, and home page feed driven audience to Milyin.
Obviously, if someone else views the Creation, then also same things happen. It's just that I feel there is no point waiting long for someone to get the ball rolling when you can do it yourself.
Side Note:
We will also be covering the importance of Self Likes in an upcoming Creation of Becoming Creator. I try to mix up things so that no 2 consecutive Creations are similar. Hope you like it.
Also, our team @MilyinCreators is also taking initiative and bringing a new series All 'Bout Creation for you. It is designed for beginner level Creators, and focuses on more core fundamentals and answers more fundamental questions.
Expect an announcement for the same later this week on @MilyinCreators. Don't forget to follow the account if you don't do that already.
It's A Wrap
On that note, it's a wrap. Thank you for engaging with this Creation. As always, we would keep publishing new Creations in Becoming Creator every monday at 5pm IST.
Feel free to reach out to me in the comment section or Milyin Chat, I am always there to interact and discuss.
