Writing on Medium: 100+ Articles in Just 26 Days: Tips and Insights
You may remember me posting about writing 5+ articles per day long term.
Here I step up or shut up…
On avg, I wrote 3.85 articles each day when you do the calcs.
My record is 7 articles, and I do not post low quality articles. Even my shorter articles have priceless lessons learned within them.
Here, I prove… you can do it too.

Just try out my tips listed in my other articles.
I do share a lot of productivity tips within my business album.
You may be wondering,
Why 3.85 articles written on Avg instead of the promised 5+ ?
Well, of course all is about my exact wording. I truthfully do write 5+ articles long term and even write 6 or 7 at times. There are days in which I was traveling 4+ hours in a car for Easter 2x that week for a 4 day vacation.
There was also the huge upset of reaching my first 100 followers and being denied Medium Partnership Program because I am too hardworking about engaging with others. This denial surely hits you hard emotionally when you finantially need every dime you can earn, spent 16+ hour days writing, and get denied an opportunity you are eligible and worked so diligently for.
Yes, this denial probably affected my output.
Then I decided,
Fruit… I will continue to perform at my high level and do my best regardless of Medium MMP approval. I will simply avoid wasting so much time engaging on Medium because it went unappreciated, and criticized.
Instead, I will grow my following by engaging minimally on medium specifically if that makes sense.

You may also remember, I wrote about striving for 1000 articles and 20,000 followers by Jan 1 2024. Yes, this is a high goal that may be impossible; but we shall see.

At a 3.85 avg, I am on track to succeed. I just need a 3.5 avg.
Problem is, I will start a 40 hr work week soon. Thus 3.5 daily will be pretty difficult.
But again, even if I do not get to this goal…
Success is getting close and doing my best
All that matters is I did my best. In doing my best I will fall among the stars.
When it comes to followers, yes I have high hopes. Similarly potentially impossible. Especially if I never get support or boosts from Medium.com.
Well, goals are easier when you have a team and strong support system.
Definitely need you all.
Definitely need the support.
I also have no control over whether others value and appreciate all I write. All I can do is write, share, and hope people see the value in all I do.
The hardest part is getting started.
Compounding growth
Law of compounding effects. Growth on any platform will look like an exponential growth of a parabola. As you gain traction, the rate of growth will multiple.
This means followers will multiply.
Reads will multiply…
Views will multiply…
Fans will multiply…
Income will multiply…
For example, check this out:
Mar 20 to Apr 1, only 31 followers in approx 10 days.
Apr 1 to Apr 20, 90+ followers in growth.
Apr 1 to Apr 15, today 195+ followers.
It is easy to see that my 1st 10 days on Medium vs my 2nd 10 days includes a 3x growth compared to earlier 10 days.
In the past 5 days I earned 105+ while the 10 days before that I earned 90+; thus a 2x growth so far but the last 5 days should offer another 90+ statistically based on the data.
If this all sounds confusing.
Just know, things are slow early on but as you get traction; growth is exponential. Growth multiplies and speeds up over time.
Caution: this rate of growth will vary on your niche, quantity of articles posted, engagement, featured image, title, and how much you share your content with others.
FOR NOW, YAY TO POSTING 100 ARTICLES IN 25 DAYS WHICH TOOK MUCH HARD WORK AND DEDICATION TO SHARING ALL THE THINGS I ENJOY IN LIFE.
