100 followers in 2 weeks!
Nothing much, just my story.
Hey, I am Richard. I gained 100 followers in two weeks, but I can’t even participate in the Medium Partner Program because I am from India. To be honest, I had never heard of this platform before. On January 2, 2022, I discovered this platform.
Jan. 1, 2022:
Happy New Year! I considered doing something different besides my developer’s work. So, I created a basic blogging website and began blogging! It was a lot of fun! It was well-received by my friends who read it.
My Website:
Jan. 2, 2022:
While scrolling through my Facebook feed, an advertisement for Medium with a very nice article appeared. I read that article and a few others before being asked to join as a member in order to read more. So, I joined instantly. Then, I fell head over heels in love with this platform.
Jan. 3, 2022:
I came to know that this platform pays the writers monthly after joining a partner program. I got more interested but later, found out it is still yet not eligible for Indians. Honestly, I got a little disappointed.
Jan. 4, 2022:
Thought why not share my knowledge and thoughts here as well? So I published two stories, and there was no engagement for a week!
Jan. 11, 2022:
After only writing stories for my website and Medium every morning for 7 days! When I open my Medium account, I see a lot of notifications and notice that the 2nd story I posted, is kinda going viral because a lot of people read it and even followed me!
Here is the story:
Jan. 18, 2022:
After 7 days of gradually increasing engagement, there were now around 300+ views per day. On this day, I saw a higher level of engagement! It has even received 500+ views, and the number of followers is growing. Later, I discovered that, of the total stories I posted, one more story has also kinda gone viral and is receiving a lot of engagement!
The Story:
Jan. 20, 2022:
I’ve posted 14 stories in two weeks and have 100 followers! And I still have no idea how the algorithm works! I’m still learning about the features of this platform.
Yeah, I’m not eligible for the partner program, and I’m not making any money from my stories, but I’m glad I’m slowly building a community where I can freely share my knowledge and thoughts.
Thank you to everyone who has followed me and found my articles useful! I will continue to post articles because I am enjoying it!
