Add 3 Box Links to Your MuddyUm Posts Please
Adding these smart links is your road to name and fame
What on earth is a box link?
This, below, is a box link, which, by the way, you can add anywhere, and in any of your Medium articles.
How do I create this magical box link thingie?
- Find and open one of the articles you published on MuddyUm. Don’t have 3 of your own articles? See the MuddyUm 3 Box Links Philosophy below.
- Click the three dots in the right top corner.
- Copy Friend Link.
- Paste the link at the end of your article.
- Hit Enter and pause for a beat.
Magic happens and the link converts into a nifty box with an image. Voila! Box link!
At MuddyUm, we believe in doing whatever we can to help your humor reach out and tickle as many people as possible. Our weekly newsletters, Daily Muddy Funnies, and posts on FaceBook, Instagram, and TikTok — all of them have only one core intent — to help the MuddyUm writer be seen as much as possible. OK, I lied. There is another corer core intent — to save the world by inducing more laughter.
MuddyUm 3 Box Links Philosophy
Therefore, we came up with a way for our writers to gain more traction for their posts — the famous MuddyUm 3 Box Links Philosophy. The philosophy is really simple.
- Choose three of your favorite MuddyUm posts and drop the links at the end of your post.
- New to MuddyUm? Don’t have three posts yet? Drop 2 links, or 1, or none.
- Want to add links to your articles published in other publications? Um, no.
- Want to add links to your self-published articles (not published in any other publication)? Go ahead. 3 is the limit.
- Want to add links to some amazingly funny MuddyUm articles by other writers? Go for it.
- Want to mix up your MuddyUm article, an article by another MuddyUm writer, and a self-published article? You are diabolical but go right ahead.
Why 3 box links you ask?
Three is the smallest number needed to create a pattern. 3 has always been considered powerful by numerology experts. Consider mind-body-soul. Consider birth-life-death. Consider the Holy Trinity. Consider triangles and Pythagoras. 3 is a number in its prime! In fact, it is a prime number!
But, the real answer to why 3 links is — I don’t know, ask Susan Brearley :)
Regardless of whether you include box links or not, adding a clickable image that leads to MuddyUm is critical. Mandatory. Must do. The law of the land. You get the drift. Here’s how:
