Join My ‘Read For Read’ Club! Earn More and Connect With Others

Engage and connect with other Medium writers. Joining may also increase your likelihood of earning more money!

If you’ve read any of my articles on this topic, you would know what a huge advocate I am, for supporting and reading other medium members’ articles.

Being genuinely interested in others’ writing and engaging with their content is paramount. I always visit my commenters’ profiles. Especially if I know they read my article.

Or better yet, articles.

And if I like what they’re writing…

I will follow them. I will comment on their stories. I will highlight their stories. I will clap for their stories.

But most importantly, I WILL READ their stories. Truly read.

Read for Read Club

I am launching a ‘Read for Read’ club!

As emphasised in my past articles, monetary gain can only be achieved by having your articles read by Medium members.

Oh, it can also be achieved if somebody signs up as a Medium member using your affiliate link.

But generally speaking, the bulk of a successful writer’s earnings, will stem from the amount of time their audience (medium members) spent reading their articles.

You will know whether someone is a paid medium member as their profile icon will have a GREEN border (as shown in the below image).

Update: Medium has since updated this feature. You will know a writer is a Medium member if there is a yellow star on their icon!

Connect With Other Writers AND Earn Money

We are all a community of writers. I’m assuming we’re all here for the purpose of writing to share. Writing for joy. Writing to engage. Writing to learn.

And… writing to earn money?

I know that for most of us, earning money is not our first priority when writing.

However, it doesn’t hurt to earn some extra cash, right? All while simultaneously connecting with other writers.

In my opinion, this ‘Read for Read’ club is not an inauthentic initiative.

In fact, it’s quite the opposite as it promotes reader engagement. This club will entice you to read others’ articles that you otherwise, (potentially) wouldn’t have viewed.

Therefore, exposing you to a range of different perspectives.

How Does the ‘Read for Read’ club work?

By joining this club, your article will be a part of a list of numerous articles. This list will be created and posted by, yours truly.

I will tag you in the post so that you’re aware.

All of the articles listed will be written by a variety of medium members who, like you, are also a part of the ‘read for read’ club.

And it is through this post (that will contain a list of articles written by ‘read for read’ members) where we will be able to read each other’s articles, engage and form connections with one another.

Makes sense?

Like mentioned, it’s a win-win!

However, for this to work, you MUST make an effort to READ and engage with all of the articles on the list.

HOW TO JOIN THE READ FOR READ CLUB!

1. You must be a Medium member.

2. Comment on this post stating you want to join.

3. Every day, I will upload a post containing numerous articles from different ‘read for read’ members including yours.

4. Make sure you READ, clap and comment on the articles stipulated in the post! And they will do the same for you.

It is encouraged that you visit their profiles and read/ engage with several of their articles.

Yep, it’s that easy.

NOTE: I know for a fact, that when writers read (actually read) and comment on my articles, I ALWAYS reciprocate. Especially if they do this for multiple articles of mine.

So please, do not join if you do not plan on reciprocating the read.

I hope by establishing this ‘Read for Read’ club, we can all support one another, learn from each other, and provide one another with different insights on a variety of topics.

HAPPY READING!
