Half Way To 100 Followers
Fifty followers in just under two weeks.
I don’t have any frame of reference for whether getting to fifty followers in 13 days is me doing well or not. I don’t know how fast other writers on this platform have accomplished attaining the summit of Mt. One Hundred Followers, but I feel like I’m doing alright…writing articles and searching topics I find interesting, leaving comments, and following other people who are interested in the same sort of stuff on here as I am.
Here’s what seems to be working for me:
- I got busy writing. Not a ton, but I wrote 8 articles in 13 days and imported an old blog post from my website to repurpose here.
- I started clapping and leaving comments on articles I read that I enjoyed.
- I spied on top writers in several categories that interest me, took a look at who followed them, and followed 10–20 people each day who seemed interesting based on their “About” bio.
That’s it.
I don’t know if my progress so far to 100 followers is quick or repeatable or ordinary or what, but I am enjoying the platform and the variety and quality of the writing on here (most of it). I think 8 articles in less than two weeks is pretty good for someone who hardly writes outside of patient visit notes and grocery lists, and I have been enjoying the gamification of stats, the goal to 100, and other aspects of the platform.
Here’s a link to another one of my articles which you may or may not enjoy, either way, you can always let me know in the comments:
Update: 10/22/2021
Thank you to everyone who took an interest and commented on this article, as of today I have 129 followers. I signed up for the Medium Partner Program and have made $0.11 off of two articles I in the last few days.
Living the dream!
