The key word on Medium, I find, is participation! How much are you putting into this? Are you in it for yourself or for the community of writers?

Hey, Look, Ma! I Made It To 100 Followers!

By now, you’ve probably read a few articles about getting your first 100 followers on Medium. You probably followed the advice in many of those articles, too. So did I.

I didn’t try to get 100 followers in 24 hours

Good God, why torture yourself? I know, at first it’s like a drug. It’s very gratifying to log into your account and see 10 people followed you while you were away. I decided there was no reason to rush it. Reaching my first 100 followers took about a week. I wasn’t really counting. I started on Medium this spring and published two articles, but I wasn’t serious.

Are you serious about Medium?

I got serious about Medium this month because I started an online content writing experiment for 90 days that I am calling the #ContentStorm. I write and publish online every single day for 90 days, December 2021-February 2022. I want to see what content gains traction (I have a few different verticals) and if storming the Internet with content helps grow my audience.
