Don’t Fight for Followers, Focus on Creating Good Content Instead

Yes, I know that gaining more followers, likes, and shares feels like validation for our efforts. But the major part to gain followers is your content and what value brings to the people reading your articles.

In a world where social media metrics often define success, it’s tempting to chase numbers. Gaining more followers, likes, and shares feels like validation for our efforts. But here’s the thing: numbers can be misleading, and chasing them can derail your focus. Instead of fighting for followers, your energy is better spent on creating genuinely valuable content.

I have more than 5.5k followers in Medium and 30k + LinkedIn followers, and I can confidently say this: content is everything.

1. The first and most important lesson you should learn is:

People will follow you if you provide value.

When you focus on creating helpful, insightful, or entertaining content, the followers, likes, and shares will come naturally. Numbers are just the second product of the impact you make.
