2000 Followers on Medium: When and How?
When Did You Reach Here, and How Do You Plan To?
I reached 1k followers in July, just 8 months after starting on Medium.
I was hopeful that the next 1k journey would be easier. As a new joiner, it’s always challenging to understand the dynamics and get people to follow you here.
Since July, it has already been 6 months, and I have managed to reach 1.8k followers.
I have been stuck around 1.7k for the longest time.
I predict I would not be able to reach 2k even in 8 months, just as I did with my first 1k. The journey, which I expected to be faster, has unfortunately slowed down.
Several factors have contributed to this:
- My decreased activity on Medium due to personal life commitments.
- Ongoing glitches on Medium and the removal of spam accounts, which have held our counts back.
- Demotivation due to glitches and a decline in earnings.
- Various festivals and personal occasions towards the end of the year and beginning of 2025, which further reduced my activity and overall Medium traffic.
Now, I wonder:
When do people typically reach 2k followers despite such challenges?
And for those who haven’t, what do they predict for themselves?
I have seen some people grow faster, but the journey is always relative to each person’s unique steps on Medium.
Towards 2k!
