Medium Experiment : Next 16 Days
Follow up to the 30 Day Medium Experiment
On January 16th, I summarized my attempt at trying really hard to be a productive Medium writer. I will link to the story at the bottom, it is called “The 30 Day Medium Experiment”.
In that story, I summarize the change in Followers, Views, Reads and ballpark figures of money earned. I followed 125 people per day, wrote 16 stories in those 30 days and followed with clap backs, response follow-ups and reads on people that appeared in my network area on Medium’s front page.
The results of that experiment were tempered by the fact that I started with really low numbers, but the results were encouraging enough to continue with this method.
Or so I thought.
I had a gout flare up around January 19th and all my Medium motivation was erased. The pain was so bad on some days that I basically hopped around on one leg and had almost 3 sleepless nights. I didn’t want to write and the only thing I kept up from my previous 30 days was following 125 people per day.
Now that the pain has subsided, this new story is about what happens when you stop writing consistently.
