From 100 to 4000+ followers

It’s time to reflect!

I joined Medium to find fellow humans that can relate to me. I started off writing my first story “I’m a girl, just not girly’’ for my audience, which was less than 20 people at the time :) and it felt good putting my work out there.

However, learning about the Partner Program changed the game for me. My next focus was getting 100 followers of course!

But what I did not expect to happen is how my follower count would keep snowballing each day, even after I passed that milestone!

The story I hit 100 followers in 3 days based on my experience in getting 100 followers got quite a bit of traction than I expected.

And ever since that day, my follower count kept growing daily and I could not be more grateful. And it helped me push myself back up each time I felt like I’m slowly losing my spark.

One of my favourite moments of the day is going through Medium notifications on my phone and tapping on the + icon in front of each new follower :)

What worked for me really?
