This post isnā€™t about listing things Iā€™ve learned; itā€™s about expressing gratitude.

Some people might gain 1,000+ followers quickly within 1 minute of joining Medium.

Oh well, thatā€™s impossible, except if your name is Mr. Beast.

I reached 1,000 followers. I felt the same way when I hit 1,000 as I did when I had 100 followers five months ago.

Itā€™s a feeling that doesnā€™t go away.

Hereā€™s a funny thing that happened yesterday.

In the morning, my stats showed I had 1,000 followers. I was so excited and shared the news with my friends and family.

But by the afternoon, it dropped back to 999. šŸ˜†

I couldnā€™t help but laugh at the timing and the fleeting nature of online milestones.

Iā€™ve been active on this platform since February. I joined their partner program in February, too.

Iā€™ve been posting honest articles as often as I can and started making some money here.

But Medium isnā€™t just about earnings.

Itā€™s about connecting with people. You share your stories, read about othersā€™ experiences, and learn a lot.

Finally, Iā€™ve reached 1,000 followers, and the community Iā€™ve built over the last few months is amazing.

You are amazing!!!

Thank you to everyone who engages with me and my articles.

About My Stats and Earnings

Whether Iā€™m busy or not, I always check the work of other writers who engage with this community.

The result of my hard work and engagement with this community is herešŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡:

Donā€™t forget to check out how I 5x my March earnings in April

I have earned over $500 in 4 months.

My most successful article was ā€œMy First Medium Earnings: $33 šŸ˜²šŸ„³šŸ¤©ā€

My earnings per read for this one are 49/163 = $0.30.

This is so crazy.

Without you guys, this would be impossible.

Thank you for being a part of my journey!

A big hug to each one of my 1000 followers.
