Chapter 1: Our Recent Growth Surge

In an unexpected turn of events, we’ve seen a significant uptick in our follower count, gaining over 200 followers in just three days. This rapid growth has left us pondering the reasons behind such a surge. Just twenty days ago, we were at 2,000 followers.

While reflecting on our numbers, I posted a reminder encouraging readers to support our pub by following us.

It’s easy to overlook following a pub, but often, it's the writer's post that captures the reader's trust or interest, prompting them to click "follow."

When discussing followers, it's crucial to emphasize the importance of active followers—those who regularly engage with our content. But why is it essential for a pub to increase its follower count?

The answer lies in the concept of impression frequency, where a consistent presence can foster future connections. This may seem apparent, yet it’s important to recognize that Medium takes time to assess and recalibrate the links between an account and the pubs they follow. The more you interact, the more content from that pub you’ll encounter.

Moreover, just like readers, we also need time to evaluate whether we want to contribute to a particular pub, not just for the sake of writing, but to share meaningful lessons or insights.

While we can easily access a wealth of knowledge online, the uniqueness of writing stems from our personal experiences and interpretations.

Sometimes, it can feel overwhelming—doesn't it seem like there’s already an abundance of information available on topics we wish to discuss? Yet, we often find ourselves needing reminders about important concepts in our lives.

We are conditioned to perform repetitive tasks, which can have a paradoxical effect. When we encounter something repeatedly, it embeds itself in our memory, almost like a line of code.

Consider this question: did you come across our pub because something kept catching your eye?

We may be aware of this influence, but we often lower our defenses and find ourselves engaging without a clear rationale. Currently, we stand at 2,497 followers, and by the time this is published, we hope to reach 2.5K. If you haven't followed us yet, you can do so here.

I can’t say for sure if we’re the fastest-growing pub, but I firmly believe that treating this endeavor as a hobby yields hobby-like results. That’s why I approach it as a business—perhaps due to my workaholic tendencies. Timing and momentum are also crucial factors.

Each of us has interests, hobbies, and passions that we can cultivate into viable operations that align with our lifestyles. Doesn’t that sound like a dream come true?

We all have aspirations, but what follows is often beyond our control. Motivation can be fleeting, yet we find ourselves drawn to it time and again.

So, keep writing and manage your stress levels as best as you can. Thank you for reading and for supporting our writers at the Pub.

Wishing you a joyful weekend!
