The Road To 1000 Medium Followers
My Milestone towards $1000 plus per month Medium Earnings
The End Is Nigh!
As of this writing, I’m 80 followers away from my 1000th follower!
I know, like some have reminded me in the comment sections of my progress reports…
…that followers don’t mean income and I believe some of you when you say that half of your followers aren’t even paying attention.
But it seems like only yesterday when I was on a mission to get 100 followers!
And here we are now approaching 1000!
Not only do I celebrate the little joys of life…
I celebrate small victories!
I don’t recall off the top of my head if I’ve gone into how much I enjoy murder pajama struggle cuddling.
It’s a form of mock ritual mortal combat, more commonly known as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
It’s a grappling sport, the object of which is to get your opponent to tap through the means of a submission hold, which is either a choke or joint lock.
Sure, the name of the game is to get your opponent to physically ‘say uncle’ and beginners, once they’ve had a little mat time want to ‘go for the tap’ right away!
But starting from a neutral position, there are dozens if not hundreds of tiny milestones along the way, to get to the tap.
The experts make it look easy.
But they’re going through these milestones too…just quicker and more seamless than the rest of us.
So what in the hell does jiujitsu have to do with Medium?
Well if you do jiujitsu, or have buddies that do, you know how folks find a way to work jiujitsu into any conversation.
That being said, in this instance ‘the tap’, for me at least is a consistent $1000 plus USD monthly Medium income, which would give me a solid stepping stone for more elaborate things.
We have milestones within milestones.
100 followers was an external milestone given by Medium, that I had to reach (at the time, I believe they’ve since changed the rules) just to be eligible for monetization.
But 1000 followers is one of my milestones. It’s a symbol that I’m not just shouting in an empty forest here…my words are being heard!
And as many of you know from experience, that’s a good feeling.
But before I run my little victory lap
…I want to thank you for reading.

Yeah…go through and make sure you’re following each one of these writers and read their work!

That being said. Thanks for reading and good luck with accomplishing your own milestones, which I’d love to hear about in the comment section!
