March Madness: A Growth Challenge Alert!

This is a fantastic opportunity for newcomers to Medium!

What’s at stake, you ask? The reward is gaining followers and creating meaningful connections with readers—truly a treasure that is rare to find.

For those who participate in the March Madness Growth Challenge, a sneak peek from my upcoming book awaits you. I'm thrilled to soon call myself a self-published author—a dream I've held for ages! (Let’s not forget my aspiration to appear on Oprah… perhaps this book will help me get there. Oh wait, it’s just a podcast now. Here we go, the snowball effect begins!)

Now, back to the challenge details. Firstly, since I’m offering an exclusive preview of my book, I’m limiting this challenge to just 20 aspiring writers. However, I tend to be generous, so if you ask nicely, I might just give you a copy for free!

Secondly, I won’t be hand-holding you through this; instead, I’ll equip you with essential tools. You know the phrase, “Nothing worthwhile comes easy”? I’ve lived by that, and I can assure you, growing on Medium is no exception. But it is definitely achievable.

Here’s what you need to do: 1. Subscribe and comment below if you want to join the challenge (I’ll need your email address). 2. Familiarize yourself with Google Spreadsheets, as we’ll be using that. 3. Commit to writing as much as possible from March 1-15. (15 days is quite manageable!)

To attract followers, don’t be afraid to stir things up. On March 1st, write a story about this challenge and tag me, even if it’s outside your usual topics. Your unique take may resonate with someone else—so dare to showcase your voice!

Additionally, you’ll be encouraged (as much as I can through a screen) to write a concluding post detailing your experiences. Your followers will be eager to know the outcome, and so will I! The final post doesn’t need to include screenshots or monetary figures, just your insights and lessons learned.

The "madness" part? Don’t skip a day. Treat your writing like a new love interest—engage every single day during these 15 days. It will fly by before you realize it. Consider this your motivational push!

If you’re ready to refine your writing and discover what resonates with your readers, let me know, and we’ll embark on this journey in just two days.

I even stumbled upon a cherished photo of my daughter from 2020! It’s funny how reverse psychology works—when someone tells me what not to do, I’m all in.

So, consider this: don’t join this challenge. You really don’t need any new followers.
