Can I Make a New June Medium Goal?
Okay, okay — another post about Medium
Well, my first goal on Medium was to get to 100 followers. Originally, I was hoping to accomplish that by the end of June 2022.
Then, I saw momentum building and thought, well, why not share that I’d actually like to reach that in the first week.
And I did!
Wow — how cool and amazing that I am starting to build this fantastic community of folks interested in writing, sharing, and growing together.
Realistic goals are so important, and I’m wondering now, is 500 followers by the end of June 2022 realistic?
I truly think it is. Let’s do it. I’m holding myself accountable and setting it now.
But, how in the world can I achieve 500 followers in my first month of writing on Medium?
I have some ideas:
- Publish, publish, publish! I read several other writer goals this month of trying to publish 100 stories. I can do this in the first month because I’m able to take content from my existing blog. I’m not sure if that will be sustainable long term though.
- Engage, engage, engage! It is not enough to write and hope the masses will come. Also, what’s the fun in that? I will read other people’s articles, clap, and provide comments and encouragement.
- Try to get in a Medium newsletter. So, I will admit that I don’t actually know how to do this yet. Although I suspect a quick little Medium search will put me on the path of many helpful articles to figure it out.
- Follow as many interesting writers as I can. Every day I discover new talented people to follow and read. And this excites me because that means I also get to continuously learn new things and hear new perspectives. And maybe some of them will follow me back.
What do you think? Can I make it to 500 followers by June 30, 2022? Do you have any advice for me?
