and as I post and engage in content that number will likely grow but as I said before the followers are only a part of my reason, I miss the days when I was an avid bibliophile and the pen was the only thing I needed to escape from obscurity.

I’m already half way there

So with the influx of “How to get 100 followers.” articles I have been seeing on Medium for the past couple of weeks or so, I have decided to put a break on my constant indecision and resolve to have a serious go at being a committed writer on this platform. I am quite tired of reading other peoples stories of how they have made thousands of reads on their articles and scroll passing peoples monthly earning charts and seeing their steady rise to success.

I am rather quite envious to say the least and I have been trying to stir up the motivation to actually to something for almost a year now but with a crippling case of imposter syndrome, I tend to second guess myself a lot. However as I look back on what I’ve done on my own for the past couple of months. From moving away from every thing I’ve known and loved to study in a foreign country to moving out on my own in said country all within 9 months, it safe to say in my opinion that this should be a lesser beast to tackle that what I’m making it to be so here goes nothing.

The Plan Of Attack

30 days, 30 pieces of work, my aim is to put out thirty bodies of work over the next month. Whether it be shortform, poetry and or an essay on anything that strikes my fancy i.e. self development, self reflection and the general existential musings of a young adult. I want to develop my habit of writing again, once upon a time you couldn’t keep me from writing if you tried. However, I want to ensure that the quality of my work is still at a level that I’m happy with. Anyone can produce word vomit and post it, this is the age of social media after all but with that excess saturation of content, being able to produce actual pieces of art that not only satisfy my ego but also appeals to others is the main goal.

I Won’t Follow for a Follow but I will Read for Read

It’s pretty easy to follow someone and then completely forget about their existence, they simple become a number under your user name and that’s the end of it. That is a pretty sure fire way of getting followers, 90% of people on this platform are out to make money and that just the way it is. I’m not going to sit here and act as if I’m holier that thou and not as if I’m not a broke college student pinching pennies or in my case toonies. However, there is no reason that we can’t make money and be engaging. I want to read more, gain new perspectives and learn more about this vast world. Everyone has a story and I plan to read as many as possible, so I hope that you read mine and engage with them. In order to further facilitate this I plan to join a Read for Read group or two. Hopefully, I’m accepted, fingers crossed.

The Bottom Line

My ultimate goal here is multifaceted; curate a audience that enjoys my work, gain enough followers to be eligible for the medium partner program to earn a bit of cash and develop my habit for reading and writing again. As I am writing this I acknowledge that I have 51 followers and as I post and engage in content that number will likely grow but as I said before the followers are only a part of my reason, I miss the days when I was an avid bibliophile and the pen was the only thing I needed to escape from obscurity. I hope that you will join me on my journey of finding that again because it is surely to be a interesting one.
