Reaching 500 followers. A story about the 'little bit of courage' I finally summoned.

Hello, this is nagi.


This might be sudden, but are you conscious of your 'follower count' when managing your note?


Of course, numbers aren't everything.


However, in my own experience,I feel that every time I gain 100 followers, the number of views, likes, and comments on my articles changes little by little.


As followers increase, the number of people my articles reach also grows.


As a result, my platform for expression expands, which can also lead to side hustles and monetization.


That is likely why so many people want to 'increase their followers'.


Actually, I also set a goal to reach 500 followers within this week.

As of July 13th, I had 451.

I thought, 'It might be tough to do it this week...', but before I knew it, I had achieved my goal.

It grew so smoothly that even I was surprised.

Today, I'd like to write about what I felt behind the scenes.

A step taken with courage

The catalyst for this was an article by Azunaburu-san, whom I recently got to know.

(*Article link: This is an introduction to a paid article)

In the unofficial follower ranking, they have an incredible track record of gaining 283 followers in one week and ranking 75th out of 10 million people.


When I actually read the article, it wasn't just about mindset; it was full of concrete content that emphasized reproducibility.


Honestly, it was one 'I see!' after another.


Moreover, I have only been able to put 5 out of the 7 tips into practice.


Even so, it led to these results.


I truly believe it was a valuable article.

But the most important thing was...

From here on, it's a Nagi-style story.

It's not written in Azunaburu-san's article.

But there is something I felt most strongly this time.


That is,



'Summoning courage'.



......

Yes, it's hot-blooded philosophy again (laughs).

I've been becoming that kind of character lately, haven't I?

But I seriously thought so.

Courage isn't about big things

The courage I summoned this time was really small.

・The courage to try purchasing a paid article.

・The courage to send a DM to someone I'm meeting for the first time.

These two things.

Actually, the reason I found out about Azunaburu-san's article was through Manatsu-san's article.


'I want to read this.'


That's what I thought, so I bought it.


And, despite it being our first time meeting (since it was a referral and a purchase from someone I wasn't following), I also sent a thank-you DM along with a greeting.


For the usual me, that's an action that requires quite a bit of courage (laughs).


Then, triggered by that DM, Azunaburu-san introduced my article.


I have nothing but gratitude.


......

'Wait? Isn't the reason your followers increased because your article was introduced?'

I will pretend I didn't hear that retort for now (laughs).


Of course, that's not the only reason.


I believe it led to results precisely because I put the tips I was taught into practice.


But I was only able to encounter those tips because I had the courage to buy the article.


And the connection was born because I had the courage to send the DM.


In the end, if I hadn't taken that first step, nothing would have started.

When you take action, your connections with people also expand

Note is a truly interesting place.

When you summon the courage to take action, not only do your numbers grow, but your connections with people also expand.

This time, I realized that firsthand.

That's why I've been thinking lately.

Tips are, of course, important.

But whether or not you can make the most of them,might just be that little bit of courage to think, 'Let's give it a try'.

In closing

Once again, Azunaburu-san, thank you so much!


Not only is your note management advice great, but your articles about living in France are also very interesting, and I look forward to reading them from now on.

(Actually, I studied French when I was a university student. ...Though I can't speak it at all (laughs))


I want to increase my followers.

I want to reach more people with my articles.

If you feel that way, please try summoning just one small bit of courage first.

That one step might lead to a new view.


Thank you for reading until the end today as well 🙇
