They have many followers who help them read their stories and also help Medium to distribute their stories to more people, whenever they write a story Medium sends a notification to their followers to read it.

They also have some crazy followers who read all their stories without considering what they have written about.

But here a question arises that how they build that big amount of followers? The answer is — They build followers by uploading their stories to different publications and Medium owned publications which help them to come in front of different types of audience.

They also build relationships with publication owners and editors that help them get accepted into large publications easily. They post regularly to ensure that people do not forget them. They also have some followers on their social media accounts like Twitter, LinkedIn, etc., which help them boost their initial views.

They provide value to their readers

They provide value to their readers and always make content for them to solve their problems and help them by telling their success stories and sharing their stats to inspire, guide, and give advice.

They make their own personalized images for their stories to deliver their message more precisely, which helps their readers understand what’s gonna be in their stories. They also have their own image style that makes it easy for their readers to identify their work from the image without seeing their names. They’re not doing it for money, but in return, they get it automatically.

I think providing value in any business is proportional to making money, If you provide value to your customers, you will earn money and these big writers are excellent at it.
