Many of us are new to Medium and need to earn 100 followers in order to join Medium’s Partner Program.
But growing an audience organically on such a large platform is tough and can take a long time.
That’s why I’m sharing this easy-to-do method to gain 100 Followers quickly and get your stories featured on Medium.
It only requires 2 steps.
Step 1: Search & find “100 Followers” stories on the Medium homepage (like this one).
Step 2: Clap the comments and follow the accounts on that Story’s thread. Rinse & Repeat.
- Note: Medium restricts the number of accounts you can follow per day
Try to follow and interact with at least 20 new Medium writers a day.
In 10 days you will have interacted with 200 Accounts. You only need half of those accounts to follow back (most will) and voila! — 100 new followers in 10 days.
The more you comment and interact with writers and their stories, the faster you will reach the 100 follower mark.
Writing and posting your own stories will accelerate the process as well.
I have 0 followers at the time of posting this story. I will be using this method for myself over the next 10 days and tracking my progress.
If you are new to Medium and want to gain more followers, use this method and leave a comment on this story. Clap the story as well for greater impact…you can clap up to 50 times per story.
You can use comment threads like the one under this story to easily find other writers who follow back.
The more you interact with other writers and their stories the better your chances of building an audience and getting your stories ranked & viewed on Medium.
Follow, read stories, clap, and comment. It’s that simple.
It’s super easy for New Medium writers to unite, gain followers and publish stories that get read. Team work makes the dream work

Best of Luck & Happy Writing,
