How You Can Start Writing On Medium
And how to get 1,000 followers in less than 3 months.
There are bloggers out there that say getting 1,000 followers on Medium is extremely hard.
They tell you lies about Medium being overcrowded, and too competitive. They say things like, “You’ve missed the boat,” and that “Medium doesn’t work anymore for new authors.”
Nonsense. Bullshit. Govno! (‘shit’ in Russian).
Up until October 2019, I didn’t even have a Medium account. I was blogging for five years, that’s true — but it was in Russian. I had 0 presence in the English online community (although I did try to set up a Wordpress blog a few years earlier).
At that time, I was going through a rough time switching countries and relocating to London, and I was looking for a new job. I just quit my business; I was desperate and broke.
I needed something to save me.
And then, I remembered that I actually wanted to become an international author someday. I knew English, alright — I spent half of my childhood in the United States, and I went to college there. Becoming an author was my dream. But for some reason, I still couldn’t get myself to start writing in English.
