I got asked:
What is a “FAN”?
A question from “Medium dummies” like me.
The dummy is Teresa Morillas.
She‘s an incredible woman, a new writer, and received an email notification telling her one of her posts has 10 fans.
Since more experienced writer Amy Von Blickhahn emphasized:
I’ve always wondered exactly what (fans are) too.
I want to take a closer look at the social media metric “FAN” on Medium today.
Ever seen a post about fans?
Often writers share success stories like:
- How Much Medium Paid Me for 100,000 Views.
- I Gained 100 Comments On My Story.
I rarely see articles about fans.
Fans are also a very crucial metric (=data).
The only article I can remember is one from Yousuf Rafi. He once received a notification that 1,000 of his fans read his crazy viral post
