Introduction:
By now, you’ve probably heard about the recent changes to the Medium Partner Program. Starting in 2022, writers need a minimum of 100 followers to stay in the program. No more $0.01 per month for those with fewer than 100 followers. In the spirit of overcoming challenges, I embarked on a 24-hour journey to amass 100 followers, and guess what? I succeeded! Now, let me guide you through the steps I took, and you can achieve this too. Keep reading until the end for a bonus tip!
Step by Step to Get 100 Followers in 24 Hours:
