Exactly! I also just recently had a wake-up call and stopped listing out my other articles at the end of every piece…

You put it perfectly, Darshak! It’s indeed like begging, which doesn’t look good at all. If your work is solid, readers will read more without any prompting.

I think many of us start out rather arrogantly, assuming we DESERVE to have hundreds of followers and loyal readers from the get-go. But no one deserves anything. You have to put in the work and become a better writer through a lot of time and practice.

This is a great piece that I’ll definitely be coming back to. Thank you for sharing!
