“The Extra Mile”. Engagement Friends Club

Summary

The "Extra Mile" Engagement Friends Club is a Medium-based group dedicated to enhancing member engagement with each other's stories through a structured system of reading, clapping, highlighting, and commenting.

Abstract

The "Extra Mile" Engagement Friends Club is designed for Medium users who are part of the Friends of Medium program and are committed to actively engaging with content shared within the club. Members are expected to fully engage with each story by reading or listening to it in its entirety, clapping 50 times, highlighting, and commenting. The club aims to foster mutual support and increase engagement fourfold. Daily articles are selected and shared with the community, with the potential for more if club participation grows. The club emphasizes reciprocity and a supportive environment, eliminating the need for self-promotion on social media. Members are encouraged to report non-engagement to maintain the integrity of the group.

Club guidelines

To become a Club member you must be committed to reading and connecting with other writers’ stories shared in reading lists.

The Club is composed by Friends of Medium members. It means all of members will enjoy the benefits of engagement x 4.

Please read, or listen to, every story till the end.

Create a full engagement with the author of the article. It means, clap x 50, read, highlight and comment.

Please be aware that failing to engage with the stories may result in exclusion from future reading lists, as our goal is to foster mutual support among members.

Most of people share articles daily. I will pick one of theses daily articles and share it with the rest of the community.

The posts will be of maximum 15 articles, one per author, more than enough for having an extra daily engagement. If the club increase their participants, I will share 2 or more articles a day.

Keep in mind, the success of this group hinges on reciprocity. Here, there’s no need to tirelessly promote ourselves on social media to get reads, which is a welcome change. In any chase, you can still doing it if you like! (I will!). If you notice someone in our group isn’t engaging with your work, please bring it to my attention in the comments or doing a private comment. We are vigilant and committed to supporting one another.
