#100followerschallenge

Update: I reached a 100 followers, Yayyy! It’s been a stressful couple of days finding people to follow me back, but to everyone out there still looking — it’s totally possible guys. Reach out to as many people as you can. Let’s make the comment section of this story a platform to connect new writers looking for their first 100. Other established writers will support you. And if nothing else, I can guarantee that the people in this story’s section definitely will!

I’ll cut to the chase here. Medium needs a writer to have atleast a 100 followers to be eligible for the Partner Program. And since you’ve clicked on this post, I am assuming you are one the many who needs100 followers. So do I.

So here’s how we can help each other -

You follow me and I follow you back (please drop a comment so that I get notified)

Drop 50 likes on this post and a comment sharing the link to one of your posts, and I will do the same in return.

Hopefully, this will help everyone out there who needs followers for this crap policy and we all can continue on our writing journey in the future.

PS. I have only till 23rd Feb before I get ousted out of the program, so your quick response will be appreciated :)
