This is one goal I never wrote down or thought about. When I started adding as many as 5,000 new followers in a month, I knew this was coming very soon. I wish I could say there was one thing that is responsible for this success milestone. But there are a bunch of things which I am happy to share with you. And I’ll also introduce a platform where new writers can learn and grow for free.

First, THANK YOU

Thank you to everyone who follows me on this platform. 100k is a lot of people, and I am honored and grateful.

Thank you to all those who receive email notifications for my new stories. Thank you to all my referred members (even though I didn’t promote that). Thank you to all who clap for my articles. Thank you to all who highlight. Thank you to all who drop thoughtful comments on my stories.

A BIG thank you to those who share my articles with their friends and colleagues. Those who share it on WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, their blogs, etc. Thank you to those who share it in their mastermind groups, Facebook groups, etc.

Thank you to those who got to know me on this platform and are now my business partners. Thank you to all my coaching clients, and everybody that has been on a consulting call with me. Also, thank you to those who have recommended me and my work. A big thank you to those who brought business to me.

A big thank you to my day-one fans. Those who follow me on every platform they can find me. I see you. Thank you. Also thank you to those who hype my work across the internet.

Thank you to all the publications and publication editors I have worked with and still work with. Thank you to those who have encouraged my writing one way or the other. And thank you to Medium for creating a platform like this.

Advice to New Writers

I started on this platform in January 2018. And I had no business intention. I just wanted to express myself in writing. I have earned over $50,000 from Medium. I didn’t plan to. I started going viral in January 2020. That was just 2 years ago.
