Put your wallet away. It will cost you to get followers but it ain’t money you’re going to need.

It’s time.

Some of you may be able to blow through this exercise like it’s nothing at all and treat it like a joke. The old Follow-for-follow scheme. And you know what you’ll get out of that?

Not a damn thing.

You won’t make a dime.

Yeah, you’ll be eligible for payment but that’s only the first step. Next, you have to earn $10 in order for Medium to pay you. If you just follow 100 people and they followed you back, are you going to read their crap? Do you think they’re going to read yours? Clap? Comment?

Ah nah.

And yeah, I called it crap. Wanna know why? You get out of life what you put into it. If you’re going to take the easy way to get followers then how do I know, without wasting my time, that you aren’t going to take the easiest way to publish 10 articles a day? Like publishing writing so poorly written that I have no clue what you’re talking about. Or worse yet, stealing work from all over the internet aka plagiarism.

Why would I support that?
