Spring is here and with it new life; let’s get your Medium readership growing, too! I’ve only been on Medium a couple months, but my article views have grow a lot since I discovered this one easy trick.

I’ve seen my new followers grow by ten to thirty a day. More on how I did that here:

After One Month on Medium — 27 articles, 532 followers, and 690 views

It was this article that I first tagged followers that had clapped or commented on any of my articles in my first month on Medium. Since then, I’ve tagged any new followers to subsequent articles. Articles that had 3 views went to 15 or more! As I post each weekday 🤞, I start capturing my new followers that have fstarted following me from yesterday and tag them at the end of the article.
