Section 1.1: Initial Struggles
When I published my first article in September 2021, I shared the link with a few friends and family, hoping they would support me by following my work and leaving comments. However, I quickly realized that relying solely on this approach was not effective. Many of them never took the time to create a Medium account, much less engage with my writing.
After that, I decided to move on and focus on other projects, balancing my writing with a full-time job. In October 2021, I wrote my second article, feeling a sense of momentum building. I began following other writers and left comments, yet I still lacked the consistency necessary to grow my audience. I also failed to set a specific target date for reaching 100 followers.
As November passed without any new publications and December slipped by, I found myself frustrated and questioning my progress. By mid-January, I had about 88 followers and thought, "I can do this!" I realized I needed to actively seek out those last 12 followers.
Section 1.2: Learning from the Community
In my quest for growth, I discovered numerous articles offering valuable insights on achieving 100 followers. One particularly effective strategy was to identify trending articles in my areas of interest. By scrolling to the bottom of these articles and clicking on the clap icon, I gained access to a list of users who had applauded the content. I made it a point to follow those with a green circle around their names.
I committed to commenting more frequently on various articles and following a greater number of writers each day.
Subsection 1.2.1: Avoiding Common Pitfalls
Don't fall into the trap I did by being complacent; it took me 4.5 months to reach my goal. The advice shared by the community is invaluable, and if you apply it, you can achieve 100 followers in a short amount of time.
Hitting the milestone of 100 followers in a single day, week, or month is an incredible accomplishment! A big shoutout to everyone who reaches this goal. The support and camaraderie in this community are truly uplifting.
