For new writers or even sometimes writers with thousands of followers growing getting a post to start rolling is a matter of effort rather than waiting for things to just happen.

Think claps as in ROI and you’ll know what to do and who to engage with.

Who you should engage with first matters.

Unless you have all the time in the world.

The information is right in front of you.

How to find them

Find a recent post of yours and look at who has clapped and then look at who clapped the most in counts. From there you can start your reading section by picking in this order.

The one that clapped the most in clap counts, you have to enjoy their writing of course, or else it would last a few days for you.

We are human and we have habits of doing things. Like me, I clap 49 times because it not only stands out but keeps me aware of what I’m going to read because that’ll be the hardest clap count you’ll ever do while being effective in my view.

There’s your answer

Sure this may sound and seem cheesy but it works, their intention is clear as well, hoping you clap like them when you come by. (it does help to spread the good practice of appreciating what other writers have put into their work, you are already reading it, so you might as well give your best clap of appreciation)

This one is short and simple. Example below of a reader did a 50 clap, only you get to see this information, use it as needed.
