Hey there!

Let me share a little secret about my journey on Medium that turned everything around for me, and it’s all about making friends and helping each other out.

It’s super simple and honest, no fancy tricks.

Starting Small: When I first joined Medium, I was pretty much talking to myself with just 3 followers.

I decided to not just write, but dive into what others were writing too.

I figured, why not spread some love?

So, I started reading a bunch of articles, leaving comments, and really engaging.

You know, the kind of stuff that makes someone’s day.

The Magic of Giving Back: By the 13th day, something crazy happened. My followers shot up to 300! All because I spent time reading and supporting other writers.

And guess what?

Some of them even started following me back and highlighting parts of my stories they liked.

It felt like finding my tribe.

First Earnings, Big Milestones: The coolest part? I started earning too.

From just $1 with 3 followers to nearing $70 with 250+ followers in just 13 days! All thanks to the community vibe. It’s wild how supporting others can come back to you in so many ways.

Here’s What I’m Thinking: I want to keep this good vibe rolling. I’ll be sharing stories from the folks I’ve connected with.

And I’m inviting you to join in.

Just give their stories a read, leave a nice comment, and maybe give them a bunch of claps.
It’s not about expecting anything in return; it’s about lifting each other up.

But, you know, the cool thing is, this kind of kindness usually does come back around.

No Pressure, Just Good Vibes: Don’t worry about keeping score or anything. Just enjoy reading, share some love with your claps and comments, and let’s see how much brighter we can make our little corner of Medium.

It’s all about making friends, learning from each other, and growing together.
