So you need followers and fast, but you need followers to actually clap for AND engage with your articles.

Its really all of our desire here on medium when just starting out.

No followers= No Partner Program

No Partner Program= No Financial Side Hustle.

And I don’t think I need to tell you what that equates there, am I right?

Upon your initial sign up here on medium, it’s easy to want to engage in the follow trains that are filled with empty promises and those looking for a “follow for follow” but after that initial follow, your left with crickets.

Not one clap.

Not one Comment.

So what do you do in response to no engagement? Well of course that means you up your stories and begin writing 3x articles a day, and then your busting out less than subpar articles hoping to get seen. All which will inevitably lead to your disappearance here on medium due to sudden burnout.

Which leads to me to the point of this article.
