That’s the secret to getting more followers on Medium: VOLUME.

So if you want more eyeballs on your profile, post more.

I know it’s not easy.

One day you’ll have the motivation and say,

“Alright, starting tomorrow I’ll publish one story everyday!”

But then the next morning, you wake up and snooze your alarm. Your bed feels comfortable. You try to decide if you should still write but you realize you don’t even know what to write about. Then you tell yourself you’re just going to do it before you sleep tonight.

But after a long day, you tell yourself you’re going to start tomorrow again. You’re too tired to think.

And you go back to the same process.

I know this because I was a master procrastinator.

But I’ll let you in on another secret:

My Medium stories are mostly repurposed from my writing entries for Ship30for30 writing challenge.

The writing challenge serves as my motivation and accountability.

The goal is to publish 30 essays (200+ words) every day for 30 days with other awesome people.

I post these essays on my Twitter, Medium, and sometimes LinkedIn.
