If you want to grow your following, then give more than you take. We all want to grow our followers and get more eyeballs on our work. We share our stories on Twitter and other social media channels. We need to remember a fundamental truth in life.
Give more than we take.
Medium is a community. To be a good neighbor, we need to participate. Read, clap, comment, and celebrate other talented writers. Many share stories from their experience to improve our lives and help us become the best versions of ourselves. We can learn so much from each other.
Don’t get me wrong. I love writing. Who does not get excited by new notifications and followers?
Honestly, I get more joy when alone in my comfy chair, I stumble upon some words of wisdom or new knowledge from a fellow writer.
