I think you already know that medium will mandate new rules in 2022 about the Medium Partner Program. A writer will need at least 100 subscribers to stay in the program.
I joined medium on Nov 19, 2021, without knowing that writers can monetize their stories. I just wanted to share my thoughts about personal development, productivity, emerging tech, outdoors (hiking, mental health), and finance (investing+personal). However, after reading a couple of articles a week later, I realized that it’s possible to earn some money while writing whenever I want.
I needed to be a part of the Medium Partner Program to accomplish this goal. Then I started to search how to get 100 followers ASAP. I know it is possible to get 100+ followers while writing in a few weeks or months, but why waste time when the medium community is ready to help you. Here is what I did and reached 112 followers (writing this article) in less than 24h.
I carry a classic notebook almost everywhere; I know digitalization is happening and being a technology optimist, I am happy how technology is improving our lives. But I am still a guy with pen/paper to jot down my thoughts.
3 Steps to gain 100+ followers in less than 24 hours
I’ve prioritized this interesting procedure into 3 steps, following this steps carefully can help you gain 100+ followers in less than 24 hours.
Step 1: Find related articles
Simply type “100 followers” in the medium search bar. There are many great articles to go through. For example:
Maria Akinyi 100 followers in a week
Choose 1–10 articles and save them in your reading list. Then genuinely read the article and follow the next steps.
Step 2: Leave a genuine comment
Before you write your comment, try to jot down the thoughts the way you write articles. As I said, I simply use a notebook to write my reviews in 1–3 words while having coffee/tea, then jump on google docs to update my ideas document and write an article including 1–3 sentences.
I would like to make it easy for you guys; here is my template, which I used.
“Thank you for this great article, [writer name]. I’ve been on medium for a couple of weeks. I am a lifelong learner, engineer by trade who loves to write; I write about personal development, productivity, emerging technologies, how-to, investing, and entrepreneurship. Thanks”
Wolla! It worked like magic. You can improvise it, but it worked perfectly fine for me.
Step 3: Don’t forget to clap
Follow back to show your love for writing
Please follow the writers who are looking for followers. I strictly followed the people who had less than 100 followers! It worked!! Yes, show some love for the person to follow him/her to support the writing community in the long run. I also followed the writers (after doing step-1) without commenting but just following. There is an amazon affiliate link if someone wants to buy the notebook I mentioned in Step-2.
Bonus!
Together we can build a strong community of writers. Let’s support each other to thrive on medium! Please let me know if you have any questions? Thanks
