How to Drive Up Your Engagement With Two Free Features

Stop complaining and start exercising

Are you sick of single-digit views? Are you jealous of others getting more attention? You are surely tired of pointless notifications.

Here’s how you can use them to your advantage:

Step 1: Take to the highlighter like Perlmutter.

When you come across a captivating story, hold-click on blocks of text.

Step 2: Wait for others to engage.

They will read and highlight it because they can’t help themselves. And, Medium will instantly notify you.

Step 3: Reroute them toward you.

Lie in wait. When they comment on it, because they can’t resist the validation, respond to it. Add a link to your story.

Step 4: Allow them to finish (barely).

Let two minutes pass. Because you’re watching, they are likely to respond. Start an infinite comment loop to drive up the read time.

Rinse and repeat.
