Chapter 1: The Common Misconception

Many newcomers to Medium focus on boosting their follower count, which is quite common. A higher follower count is often perceived as an indicator of valuable content. However, the significance of email subscribers is frequently overlooked.

While expanding your follower base is undoubtedly essential, especially when your numbers increase by dozens or even hundreds monthly, it’s equally crucial to motivate readers to subscribe via email.

The value of email subscribers lies in their immediate notifications of new articles, unlike followers who miss out on such alerts. This creates a mutually beneficial situation: readers stay updated with fresh content, and writers enjoy heightened visibility and potential revenue.
