Consistent Publishing

Regularly publishing high-quality and engaging content can attract readers and followers. Consistency in posting helps keep your profile active and visible to the Medium community.

I published 15 articles this month because I wrote mostly research based articles that's why it takes time and effort.

Explore Medium Publications

Submitting your articles to Medium publications can increase the visibility of your content. Publications have their own followers, and being featured in one can expose your work to a wider audience.

I just published some articles on other publications and gained some followers back.

Utilize Tags

Choose relevant and popular tags for your articles. Tags make your content discoverable to readers interested in specific topics, increasing the likelihood of attracting new followers.

Share on Social Media

Promote your Medium articles on other social media platforms. Share snippets, quotes, or summaries to entice your followers on other platforms to check out your Medium profile.

Networking with Other Writers

Connect with other writers on Medium by reading and responding to their articles. Building relationships with fellow writers can lead to cross-promotion and increased visibility. I use some facebook group like where you can find genuine readers.

Participate in Challenges or Events

Medium often hosts challenges, events, or writing prompts. Participating in these activities can help you reach a broader audience and gain followers interested in similar topics.

Optimize Your Profile

Ensure your Medium profile is complete with a clear profile picture, a compelling bio, and links to your other social media accounts or personal website.

Analytics and Insights

Use Medium’s analytics to understand which articles are performing well and the demographics of your readers. Tailor your content strategy based on this data to attract and retain followers.

Offer a Variety of Content

Experiment with different types of content, such as articles, essays, and stories. Providing variety can appeal to a wider audience with diverse interests.

Ask for Feedback

Encourage readers to leave feedback on your articles. This not only helps you improve your writing but also shows that you value and appreciate your audience.

Remember, building a following on Medium is a gradual process. By consistently delivering valuable content and actively engaging with your audience, you can continue to grow your followers over time.

Thanks for reading
