One thing that boosts you as a writer
How to grow fast without follow for follow
When I started writing on Medium I wanted as fast as possible to get the 100 followers to start earning money.
Then I saw many people write articles about how to follow for follow.
But there are two problems.
First, you have 100 Followers but only 5 of them read your story.
Second many people don’t get accepted to the Medium Partner program, because Follow for Follow is not allowed.
The Solution is Publications
As medium say Medium publications are shared spaces for stories written around a common theme or topic, usually by multiple authors.
Anyone who has the Medium Membership can create their publication.
The biggest advantage is at the beginning of your writing career.
Because if you have no followers and post something, few people see your article.
But publications have many followers who read the articles.
So you have for example in a 1000 Follower community 30 people who read your article.
How to Find a Publication and Get Into It
Search on medium for the topic you want to write on medium, and then you will see some publications.
If you have your wanted publications click on them and go to submission rules.
Then follow that and if you have done all you will get accepted.

For example Practice in Public, you go on Write for us.

Then write the article, as you see you just write this email and you get added.
You should notice that you get no notification if you got added.
How to publish in a publication?

Just go on the three dots and click Add to publication.
After that, you must just select the publication and click on submit.
You made it! Good luck that your article gets accepted, if not just try it again with another article, sometimes you get rejected that’s normal.
So start today with choose a publication you want to read and let you add as a writer.
If you have more followers you can stop to write for publications, but I would do it at least to your first 1000 Followers.
