Hey Folks,

How you’re all doing? aah, it’s been a long week.

This is not a typical post that you get every day. Rather It’s an update about my 30-day writing challenge. For those who don't know. I have been writing up and publishing daily for 10 days now.

So, what change did I notice in writing for 10 days in a row? umm…A lot actually.

#1. My follower count did increase (Almost doubled in 10 days)😲—

Can you believe it? I saw a significant increase in my follower count. It shot up to roughly 50 % of what it was before. I had somewhere around 240 followers when I started with the challenge, today on 28th my follower count increased to 400 almost doubled in 10 days period. that’s crazy. but wait am I writing to increase my following? yes and no we’ll discuss that later. for now, let’s move on to the next point.

#2. View count increased

Yes, writing consistently has a lot of benefits, and view count is one of ’em.

#3. Read ratio, claps, Subs, and engagements improved

When you write consistently no matter how shitty your posts are, I mean yes you do have to provide at least some value. but the idea is, that you will start making your mark and start getting noticed. Showing up every day is a killer skill 🔥 But yes it takes a certain amount of discipline to sit at your desk every day and write something. As they say, showing up is like 90% of the battle, you keep at it and you’ll start seeing the results.

#4. Made my first $200 online

I saved the best for the last and here it is. Consistency does pay off. I got my first client and now I am getting paid for what I write. Made my first $200 online. Yes, money is important but you guys are my biggest motivation.

These are all numbers, I am not saying all this to brag. I know If I can, you can too.

Final Thoughts

The most important change that I noticed after taking on this challenge is the resistance to make myself sit and write is gone, the what-ifs self-doubt thing has now evaporated, and the time I used to take to structure each article has surprisingly reduced. I can more or less say it has become a ritual or a habit to sit down and just do it without worrying about anything.

Big content creators & entrepreneurs like Sahil Bloom, Dickie Bush, Nicolas Cole, and Justin Welsh all swear by this one habit(consistency). Aim to fix a writing schedule, and show up every day. That’s the key to making big numbers and building a community.

That’s it for now. Thanks for Reading :)
