It may not be a catchy heading, but it is worth reading.

No matter how raw this piece of writing may look, it will throw some rays of light into the dark areas of your mind.

you must have gone through many stories from the moment you joined Medium.com with a heading like how to get 100 followers to join the partner program.

Most such stories encourage beginners to follow a few tricks to get the milestone of 100 followers. And, of course, these tricks and steps help achieve this arduous task.

But they generally target the newbies and beginners only. I will do the same with a different mindset targeting both beginners and experienced and well-established writers.

Because no matter how well you established yourself. There is always room to grow. I know you agree. Don't you?

Therefore, this piece of writing is crafted to entertain both the Experienced and the Beginners. Here are some suggestions for all the members of this platform.

For beginners first!!!

1. Follow the newbies first:

It might be an absurd idea for most of the members of this platform. And some may laugh over it, but it is the best way to get followers. Because, when a beginner follows another beginner, he follows him back instantly. This is how beginners can push each other.

I guarantee you, it works.

And think twice, thrice or any time you can. Is it not the best help you can lend to a lad(y) like you who wants to grow?

2. Follow those who clapped or commented on your story:

It is needless to say that you should follow those who clapped or commented on your story. Because everyone does it.

But wait, not everyone does it, but a few. I tell you the reason…

When someone claps or comments on your story but he/she did not follow you, here is the confusion, a few bother to follow.
Why?? Because most of them think, he just clapped or commented on my story but did not click the following button.

Then he says why should I follow him?

No, that’s the very wrong approach. Do follow him, he will follow you back before winking his/her eyes. Again it is guaranteed.

3. Must clap or comment on the articles you read:

This action has the dual advantage of improving your writing skills and earning followers for you.

Until you read stories from this platform, you will never be able to know, what to write and how to write. Therefore, you have to read different stories of different Authors before publishing your first article.

The next important thing is to comment and clap on those stories. And remember, leave a discussion-based comment. That will activate the author to follow you.

Here, you can ask the author to follow you back. Without an iota of doubt, he will heed your request.

How many articles to read??? At least 10 articles a day is a must. It means 10 followers a day. Does it not?

4. Follow those who clapped or commented on your comments:

As you read and comment on articles, there will come several claps and maybe a few comments from different authors and especially from newbies. It is essential to follow them.

Yes Exactly. They will follow you back. Guaranteed!!!

5. Follow those who have commented on the stories you too read & commented on:

Every author has many comments on their stories. After you read and comment, you must look for the discussion-based comments on that story.

You must follow them and ask them to guide you in your journey as a writer. They will happily accept. You, eventually, will have both a follower and mentors to guide you in your journey.

Remember, always consider others better than yourself. This will always keep you on the learning track.

Now, For experienced and well-Established members of Medium!!!

Are you ready??? YES!! , NO!! Maybe Yes, or Maybe Not,
Whatever you think, it is a must-read for you and will be beneficial for you too…..

Here are my few cents for you…

1. Surround yourself with newbies:

I assure you, the newbies are the ones who can take you further wherever you are now. Of course, it is more intriguing to have followers of high caliber- in the context of writers. But they are not the ones who help you to establish your profile.

Therefore, enrich your profile with the beginners by following them. It is childish to say here that they will follow you back. Of course, they will be more than happy to do that.

2. Guide others to help yourself:

There are countless raw talents out there who need a helping hand to guide them and polish them into someone as good as you are. Lend them your experienced hand. Bring them up, and show them the right path to tread on.

This will help you increase your critical thinking and enable you to explore the hidden talents in you that are not yet tapped by guiding the new ones.

2. Learn twice by teaching freshers:

As it is perfectly said that “Teaching is twice learning”.

You must have needed someone to teach you the things you want to learn and succeed. Here is the opportunity for you to learn again and learn twice this time.

Follow those learners who followed you and teach them those methods through which you achieve your target or on halfway to achieve it. It will also unearth new ways to help you to be the best of yourself.

So, it is a win-win situation for all.

The crux of this piece of writing:

In this story, I tried to generate ideas for beginners to achieve the milestone of 100 followers and more to be eligible for Partner programs that will help them to earn a few cents.

And above all, I aim to encourage beginners and experienced to help each other and grow together.

Because, Remember, It takes two to tango…

Read, Comment and Clap. I will reciprocate.
