Don’t do this. Or People Will Look At Your Medium Account Differently
At least I’ve tried to warn…
For a writer, the key to success is to build an audience.
To understand the problem I’m writing about we should define the following :
What’s an audience to me? (an maybe to you)
That’s people reading most of your stories and engaging with your content in the long term.
A lot of factors can stop you from getting an audience.
But there is one which is under your control and it’s up to you to choose whether to adopt this strategy or not.
Let’s go straight to the point :
Follow for Follow :
You may’ve seen it coming…Follow for Follow is hurting your account and here is why :
- You are attracting the same people as you who won’t read your stories :
It’s showing a lot of engagement to your potential readers who will check your account and see a lot of followers and low engagement.
It can even lead to wrong thoughts like :
Maybe he is a bad writer?
And the reader will run away. (You don’t want that)
