An ode to Medium Community. Thanks to you too. 😊
I am happy.
I have grown over the past 1 month.
And, all thanks to the medium community.
Like most people, I had been stopping myself from putting my thoughts out, but now I am doing without any hesitation. Having consumed the majority of content in video format, I had always felt is video the right platform to bring out my own self. Or was it photographs? Or microblogging? Or something else?
But ultimately I settled for Medium.
How did I start?
It took me almost a month to write the first 2 stories and then I was done. I used to read a few stories here and there, stumbled on Medium, and got the inspiration from the book The Almanac of Naval Ravikant by Eric Jorgenson. Naval mentions in the book that —
If you can’t code, write books and blogs, record videos and podcasts.
A sudden realization hit me —
“I am a marketing professional and it’s evident that I can’t put my time into learning to code. Rather I can surely start writing my observations and learning around Marketing, Branding and Business. And thus, I grabbed my phone, subscribed to Medium, and started ideating around the content.”
This is my 10th story on Medium and all the other stories around the niche that I cover. It has helped me refine my understanding about the subject and become confident into anything I pick up in the subject.
Hope it serves as a small inspiration for you as well.
Where do I stand?
Till today, I have gained 50 sweet followers without any follow for follow. I am okay with having small but quality followers who read my content and help me grow better as a writer. Now if you are one of them, you have my deepest thanks. Give me a ‘Hi’ in the comments, I would love to explore your stories as well. 😊
My stories have garnered around 500+ views since February 25, and have managed to reach 408 people (till the time I am writing this).
Now you may wonder why I am posting these stats? Is it to prove somthing? No.
In fact I want your genuine feedback 👍
Although I don’t know much about the metrics on Medium, I consider I am doing fine. But with your help, surely I can make a bigger impact on the platform. You tell me! Am I going fine or what elementary changes should I do to improve my writing?
Can you please check out my profile and the stats above and share any suggestions you may have about my tone, profile, and stories? I would love to know from you in the comments and have you as an instrumental guide in my growth.
Thanks to you in advance 🙏
