It’s like channel surfing, but instead of finding a Bill Murray movie on TBS to occupy your mind for an hour and a half, you find a new writer to enjoy for months or years.

This is awesome, but I am curious what positive things people are choosing to say! Are people just giving their opinions and followers are adding up, or are you adding value to the post?

Sean Mize's avatar

Mike, I either positively encourage whatever was written, or I add value - usually it's just a positive comment

This is such a fun and insightful piece to read.

7 subscribers from 30 minutes invested in sincere engaging with other users is a big deal.

I will give this a try!

You're creating your own platform?

Sean Mize's avatar

not a full stack like this, just to connect authors so they can easily find out who wants to do joint posts, exchange guest posts, etc

Sounds like a useful tool! Part of what brought me here is to connect with other creators.
