How cool is that? If you think that’s not a lot and what on earth is this woman raving about, I do understand. However, to me, it’s a start. It’s encouragement. It means I know what to keep writing more of next week. I’m also sitting here with a big grin on my face!
What did I do last week that was different to my unsuccessful forays into publishing on Medium before?
- I got inspired by an expert blogger, Tom Kuegler, a week ago Saturday. I watched his webinar and I followed his advice. And I stuck with it.
- Over six days I followed 300 Medium Partnership Programme members who followed popular posts.
- I gained 28 new followers since New Years Day.
- Some of the people who I followed then read and highlighted some of my words, which in turn prompted me to read their articles and respond with an article about how their words resonated with my life! Thank you Dr Mehmet Yildiz; Janetbaxley; Dean Rocheleau
- Some of my lovely new followers clapped for me. Michael T. Wilkinson; Dean Rocheleau; Robert Qua; Dr Mehmet Yildiz; Tom Stevenson; missreneeonlife; Ann K Frailey; Rolli; Mark Kolke
What am I going to do in the next five days?
- Continue following the authors and followers of popular articles.
- Write another five articles.
- Thanks to Finding Your Tags, which you can find here, I know I should focus on these particular tags: Self Improvement; Inspiration; Education; Life; Writing
- Read, highlight and respond to the articles that are inspiring, educational, and will help me to improve my writing.
- Learn how to utilise more of the tools offered by Medium. You can find some here.
Keep at it fellow writers.
