1 Crucial Medium Mistake I Wish I Never Made — My First Month Of Medium — What I Have Learnt
Today marks 1 month since I started writing on medium and it has flown by! I’ve tried my best to write at least one piece of content per day and have a total of 27 published so far.
My confidence as a writer grows every time I post and receive positive feedback, or even criticism! Who would’ve thought an electrician could gain over 200 followers in the first month of writing mostly about health, fitness & self improvement.

My last 2 weeks have shown crazy growth and its all down to one small thing that I originally thought I wouldn’t need. Publications.
When I first started on medium I seen people posting to publications and thought meh I wont need to post to them, I can just do this on my own… it’ll be fine I thought… Well I was wrong.
My first publication post was → This Posted on Write A Catalyst and since then my growth has skyrocketed. I have since posted on Short. Sweet. Valuable. & Long. Sweet. Valuable.
Since posting on publications I have been getting follows ticking along all day, tons more interaction on my posts which then also leads to those new followers reading my older content! Would like to thank Bin Jiang & Martynas Justina SWEET.pub for the support!


My earnings may not be life changing like some people have found on here but I am only 1 month in! The more exposure you get the more your older content will continue to bring money in. I can just about afford to buy a block of cheese at my local supermarket now.
Final Thoughts
Be consistent, Post once a day if you can. Write down a ton of draft ideas as they come to mind and work on them from there so you don’t have to sit at the computer/phone on the spot and think of what you’re going to write for the day!
Submit your work to publications! My biggest mistake was not doing this earlier.
Support other peoples content! They will support you back its a great community vibe here, trust me.
Thanks For Reading ❤
