How to Get Followers on Medium Organically

Medium is a great place to share your ideas, thoughts, and opinions. It is a writing platform that has been gaining popularity in recent years. If you are looking to get followers on Medium, there are a few things that you can do.

First off, you will want to make sure you have a catchy title for your article. This will be the first thing people see, and it should draw them in and encourage them to read the rest of your post.

Secondly, you should make sure that your content is engaging and well-written. You want people to keep reading what you have to say and not get bored halfway through the piece.

Also, you should write in a digestible way. You want to make your content short and sweet so that people have an easy time reading it. When creating articles, it is essential to focus on one main point you want your readers to understand.

Lastly, make sure that you include keywords in your post so more people can find it on search engines. Medium ranks highly in the most powerful search engines, so it’s a good foundation for you and your writing. It’s an excellent way for people to be attracted to your article outside the platform.

The 100 follower Challenge on Medium

The 100 follower challenge is a popular trend on social media. It’s a way of motivating people to start blogging and writing on Medium. The challenge encourages writers to increase their followers by following other writers and having them follow back.

It was born out of necessity on Medium due to the changes in signing up for the monetisation program. Writers on Medium began this trend to encourage people to follow each other so they could reach the eligibility status to monetise their writing.

As with anything, one has to way up their options and see what’s best for them. There are, of course, positives and negatives to this, as it may create an empty fanbase void of any genuine interest. Still, at the same time, it brings you into the monetisation program quickly.

My Journey from 0 to 100 Followers on Medium in a Month

I wrote my first article about two weeks ago and my second one a few days ago. Here is my third article, and I decided I wanted to jump into this trend of getting to 100 followers quickly & efficiently. I am all for creating good energy among other writers and feeling a part of a movement to reach the monetisation program — why not?

Critics are saying it creates a fanbase that doesn’t amount to much. That may be true, but in reality, once you reach the hundred and are in the program, you can entirely focus on your message and build a genuinely organic fanbase. It’s only 100 followers, not 1000 or 10,000, so it doesn’t matter that much.

Obviously, suppose you continue these methods of gaining followers inorganically. In that case, that’s a different story — I think that’s the wrong approach. But each to their own.

How Can We Help Each Other?

Here’s what I propose: consider following me, giving this article 50 x claps, and leaving a comment. I will do precisely the same for you. Just give me a tiny bit of time to get that done. I promise I will reciprocate. No doubt. We both can reach monetisation status and move on to bigger and better things from this.

Deal?

I hope so. But, no pressure, of course.

Keep writing! And I look forward to reading your articles.
