Chapter 1: A Grateful Start

In this section, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible support I have received from my followers. Just five weeks ago, I shared a story thanking my initial 500 followers for their encouragement and engagement, which played a vital role in my journey.

Section 1.1: Rapid Growth in Followers

You might wonder how I managed to surpass 500 followers so quickly. This message is specifically aimed at new writers on platforms like Medium, who aspire to reach the Medium Partner Program.

In February 2023, I decided to revive my Medium account. Initially, I had a modest following of around 30 people—far too few to qualify for the Partner Program. The driving force behind my return was the desire to apply for this program.

To achieve this goal, I’m excited to share my unique approach. Instead of generic advice, I will detail my personal experience of amassing 800 followers in four months without posting a single story. My strategy involved following 150 like-minded individuals daily. This engagement prompted many of them to reciprocate and follow me back, allowing me to reach my follower goal and successfully reapply for the Partner Program, leading to the monetization of my posts.

Section 1.2: Monthly Growth Insights

You too can experience this growth! I encourage you to try this method for just one week and observe your follower count increase. Initially, it may require some effort, but the results will undoubtedly follow.

Chapter 2: The Power of Consistency

As you progress, consider sharing some stories to further expand your audience. Remember, the effort you invest will yield lasting results. Stay committed to your goals, and before you know it, you’ll achieve them!
