How to Leverage the “Mention-for-Mention” Game to Grow Your Medium Following
Dear readers, I have a message for you today straight from the medium, which brought a big smile to my face. Well, a new hit has appeared there — the “Mention-for-Mention” game, by Francisco Iglesias. Read til the end, and discover my modification proposition!
What is this game, you ask?
Well, it’s a digital “Tag”, but instead of running around the playground, we run around the medium and spread the word about our content.
Sound crazy? And that’s not all!
The game is that you mention someone in your article, and that person does the same for you. This creates a positive chain of reactions that can bring many benefits to all participants. You get a notification that someone has mentioned you, and you read the article out of curiosity. And so on. A chain reaction of cooperation and support begins, in which each person builds on the work of others.
The crazy snowball starts to get huge!
But, most importantly in this game, it’s not just about promoting yourself. It’s about uplifting others and working together to achieve our goals.
Inspired by this amazing idea of Francisco, I decided to propose an expansion of this game.
