Medium is a place to showcase who you are through writing. A platform that allows for creativity and encouragement. It is a great place for people to spread kindness and advice to each other. Here are 5 ways to make a new or current medium writer smile today:

Claps

Medium offers a feature that allows other writers to send claps. You are able to send anywhere between 1 and 50 claps to your fellow writers. Giving claps to writers can boost their visibility and show appreciation for them. Increased visibility with claps allows for more viewership. This makes writers feel encouraged to write more.

2. Good, meaningful comments

Medium allows writers to comment on other writers articles. You can engage with the writer’s work by leaving meaningful and constructive comments. Talk about what you enjoyed about their reading. Use the highlight feature to find a key point you like the most. Offering advice and constructive criticism is beneficial for the writer.

3. Following writers

You can follow writers on Medium and subscribe to their email newsletters. Connect with writers that align best with your interests. When you follow others, you can discover new perspectives, opinions, and writing styles. You can have a sense of community and build a supportive relationship.

4. Share on social media

You can spread the love by sharing writers’ work on your other social platforms. For example, consider Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube. Bringing a wider audience can bring a wider smile for the writer.

Therefore, by engaging and supporting other writers, you not only make their day better but also add to the supportive environment that Medium offers writers.
