Stop Begging For 100 Followers And do This Instead

Gain 100+ followers without a clickbait or follow back strategy.

Writers are not beggars.

But sadly, after the recent changes in Medium Partner Program (MPP), I’ve seen writers begging for followers.

The most common approach I’ve seen in Facebook groups is writers asking to follow, and they will follow back in return.

I highly respect the excitement of new writers who want to earn from MPP. But this is not the way. If you want to gain 100+ followers, here are some tips that you can use to establish a connection with your follower instead of a follow-back approach which won’t do any good in the long run.

1. Learn to write meaningful headlines

I am not suggesting writing clickbait headlines. Write a headline that gives a little about what the blog is all about and ensure that you deliver the promise in the blog.

Here are some of my headlines that deliver a clear message on what the blog is all about:

The idea of a great headline is to inform the reader how the blog will improve their life. Each of the above headlines clearly states what the reader should expect from the blog.

2. Deliver value through your content

To gain genuine followers, give people something valuable.

Teach them something new. Educate them on how to do something smartly. Or share your life experience along with lessons that you’ve learned during the process.

Valuable content will help you grab the right audience for your blog. Before writing a blog and after you’ve written it, ask yourself, “Is this blog valuable to my reader?”

Forget word count; focus on value. If you can provide value in 500 words, go for it. If it takes 1,000 words to convey something meaningful, do that.

3. Go for genuine connection with other writers

Instead of asking other writers to follow back, read blogs that interest you the most and leave meaningful comments.

Share what you’ve learned from the blog and praise them for their effort. Once you start praising people and share your genuine comments, they’ll surely follow back without even thinking.

If the writer has shared a disturbing story, show genuine care and share good advice. If the writer is celebrating something, show genuine joy.

That’s how you will begin to create a meaningful connection with other writers.

4. Write on multiple topics

Don’t stick to one topic. Diversify your writing with various topics.

Try to write on several topics and see how the audience is responding. When you experiment with different niches, you’ll know more about what the audience wants from your blogs.

5. Be consistent

If you plan to earn from Medium, treat it as a full-time job. Even if you’re doing it part-time, you need to stay consistent with your blogs.

I suggest writing 5 days a week. The more blogs you write, the more you’ll exercise your idea muscle and the more content you’ll be able to create.

With 5–6 blogs a week, you’ll get 5 chances a week to experiment with headlines, topics, and your content.

I would also suggest publishing your content on weekdays instead of weekends because, on weekends, as per my observation people rarely read blogs.

On the closing note, it is worth mentioning that gaining 100+ followers is not a big deal if you follow the right approach and focus on creating a bond with your readers rather than follow the back approach.
