You’ve Got to Do More than Write to Attract Followers
Here’s how to build your following and readership.
Your writing may be great, outstanding, but people aren’t reading it. And it might have nothing to do with the quality of your writing. It may be that no one knows about you.
Not yet, anyway.
There are a lot of writers out there and several good ones.
Before you decide to throw in the towel, there’s something you should know: It’s not all about the writing. Well, it is. But first people have to know how and where to find it.
Writing itself will not attract readers or drive them to your blog, especially if they’re not already a part of the Medium family.
So what’s a writer to do?
Followers
Begin by attracting followers.
The first step is to engage. Read, comment, follow, like, and highlight. Read at least 30-minutes and see which readers speak to you.
Ask questions, and write thoughtful comments.
Think of building a community, kind of like making friends on Facebook; only these are people you want to form a relationship with. Think of them as business associates.
