How Did I Gain 500 Followers In 3 Weeks?
Yes, this platform is the perfect place. It is a place where we can both improve ourselves and access many knowledge and life experiences in our journey of writing. So how do we grow our account on Medium?
My expectation from this platform is to create a serious follower base and to generate an income at the same time. I’ve read so many articles that I can’t tell you. First of all, I would like to say that this is not a platform where you can share articles from time to time and expect you to suddenly grow.
If we are making money by writing here, we should see this platform as a company we work for, not like social media.
This is how we should give the necessary effort. I’m currently 16 days in the Medium Partner program and I’ve reached 500 followers. I think it’s a tremendous achievement because most people reach these numbers in 3–4 months.
The increase in my followers naturally increased my reading rates and now my total reads have exceeded 2000. This allowed me to earn a very good income. Halfway through my first month, I earned about $50! I think $50 is a serious motivation for a beginner.
Now let me tell you what I have learned so far…
Because after reading so many articles and trying them, I started to understand which ones work and which ones don’t. Of course, I’m only at the beginning of the road, but I want to convey all my progress to you, my followers. Thus, new writers like me can increase their followers in the fastest way possible. It is very important to make friends on this platform, we need to support each other.
Use your claps
Definitely use your applause. When you read an article, if you have progressed to the end of that article, use your 50 claps. Because the author has presented good enough content to make you read the whole article. If you have read part of the article, leave at least 1 clap. This will not only make your name known to others but also increase the likelihood that they will read your content.
Follow others
Follow other authors, I follow 30 people a day and I am reading an article written by each of them and trying to comment. How is the result? almost 10% of them respond to me and it’s a nice interaction. In this way, an article of mine is rapidly on its way to becoming viral. This platform requires effort, no matter what anyone says. There is no shortcut, unfortunately, but it pays off for your hard work.
Read articles from successful people
We have a lot to learn from writers like Jessica Wildfire who have achieved success on the platform. We can learn a lot from their work, be it their sentence form or their title.
Use the power of other social media
Sharing your articles on other social media will bring interaction to your content. Learn the SEO settings and share your article on media such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter.
Produce content every day
As I said, I’ve been taking this job very seriously since I started writing here. I recommend you to behave in this way if you want to earn an income. I try to write an article every morning when I wake up, and I try to write another article when I come home in the evening. I will continue this way for 6 months. At the same time, the more content, the more revenue, right? For this reason, publish an article every day. Don’t be afraid of good or bad. Something you do is unique in this world. But as we continue to write, our abilities will gradually improve. We just need to trust the process.
I hope you enjoyed the content of this article. Many people I have met here have already started to follow my progress and this makes me very happy. They also share the problems they face with me on this platform and I am really happy that I have come to the stage of giving ideas to each other. I really want us to be a big family of writers. I want to have friendly ties with people from all corners of the world, young and old, from all nationalities. Because this is priceless. Receiving different interpretations from many cultures can take our vision incredibly forward. I would be happy if you leave your progress in the comments section.
We can all achieve what we want in some way, the important thing is continuity and not giving up. And we never give up !! Take care of yourself, I will share the developments with you.
