Buy Medium Followers

Your byline carries your follower count

On Medium, your follower count appears on your profile and is one of the first things a reader checks when deciding whether to trust a story. Followers also see your new stories in their feed and can get notified when you publish, so a bigger following means every new story starts with readers instead of waiting to be discovered.

Followers give your Medium byline authority and every new article an early base of readers.

Who uses Medium followers

• Writers building a readership, for whom early readers make each new story easier to grow.
• Founders and experts publishing thought leadership, where a following supports credibility.
• Writers submitting to publications, where a profile with a following makes a stronger case.

Followers and claps

Followers grow your audience over time; Medium claps make a single story look worth reading. Use claps on your strongest stories and grow followers steadily as you publish.

Grow in steps

Followers start at $4 for 25. Several small orders spread over weeks of publishing look more natural than one big jump.

What to expect

Followers are delivered in 1–3 days. You only share your profile link. We never ask for your Medium login.

Followers and the Partner Program

Medium's Partner Program pays writers based on how Medium members engage with their stories, such as reading time, not on follower count. Followers still matter, because they are the readers who are sent your new stories by email and see them in their feed, which gives every story its first readers. Treat followers as distribution, not as earnings.

Publications and your profile

Publishing in an established Medium publication puts your story in front of that publication's followers as well as your own. Editors look at a writer's profile when considering a submission, and a profile with a following and a clear bio is more convincing. This service grows your author profile; publications have followers of their own.

Price and delivery

Medium followers are $4 for 25, worldwide, delivered over one to three days. Larger orders are multiples of 25, with a package discount that grows with the order: 5% off two or three packs, 10% off four or five, and 15% off ten or twenty.

Which link to use

Use your profile link. Medium profile links look like medium.com/@yourname, or yourname.medium.com if you use a custom subdomain. Do not use a story link: followers are added to your profile, and each order goes to one profile.

How many followers to order

Many writers on Medium have a few hundred followers, and well-known writers in popular topics have thousands. For a writer starting out, a first order of 100 to 250 followers makes the profile look established without standing out. Grow in steps as you publish more stories.

Set up your profile

• A clear photo and name, the same you use elsewhere.
• A short bio that says what you write about and who it is for.
• An About page with your background and links.
• Several stories published, so new followers find something to read.
• Lists that group your best stories by topic.

Write stories people follow you for

Readers follow writers who are consistent. Pick a few topics, publish on a regular schedule and give each story a clear title, a strong opening and a useful takeaway. Submitting to publications in your topic helps your stories reach readers who do not follow you yet; when they like a story, the follow button is right next to your byline.

A worked example

A product designer starts writing weekly stories about design systems. After six stories, they order 100 followers ($14.40 with the 10% package discount) and submit their next story to a design publication. Readers who find the story through the publication see a byline with a following and a list of related stories, and many follow to read the next one.

Followers and earnings

Medium's Partner Program pays writers based on how members engage with their stories, not on follower counts. Followers make your profile look established and mean your new stories are shown to more people who follow you. They should not be treated as a way to earn more; real reading time from members is what the programme rewards.

Newsletter and email

Medium lets readers subscribe to get your new stories by email. Followers who also subscribe are the readers most likely to read each new story. Mention it at the end of your stories, and link your Medium profile from your website and social profiles.

Before you order

• Fill in your profile: photo, bio and About page.
• Publish several stories first.
• Copy your profile link, not a story link.
• Plan a new story for the week after delivery, so followers see something fresh.

Medium shows your follower count on your profile and alongside your byline, so the number appears wherever readers find your stories.

That is why a solid follower count helps every story you publish, not only the one a reader happened to find first. Writers who keep publishing in the same topics turn that first impression into real followers over the following weeks and months, story by story.
