My Goal for March on Medium

Simplicity wins the day.

Created with Midjourney.

February was a weird one for me on Medium.

I didn’t write anything from January 27 until February 6. 10 full days without posting on the platform.

As a result, my stats dipped. You can read about it here:

When I did return to writing, it was a struggle, both mentally and strategically. I felt like I was once again whispering softly into the void.

…can anyone hear me?

So I decided to take semi-drastic action.

While I was posting daily on Medium, I wasn’t allocating much time for engagement. So, I started a little experiment:

The results were positive. All of my stats ticked upwards, including my earnings.

Ironically, the post I wrote about it yesterday was my most successful article throughout the whole of February:

Bottom line: engagement is a must.

Writing and engaging consistently makes things happen.

So in light of all that, here’s my simple plan for March on Medium:

  • Publish at least 1 article every day
  • Read and engage with at least 20 articles every day

That’s it. Nothing fancy, nothing too extreme.

Just plain old writing and reading, every day. If I achieve that one thing in March, I’ll be happy.

Let’s see how it goes, shall we?
