Neil, I was about to read one of your stories when I noticed that you head your stories with the sentence:

Not a member? Read the free version of this article here. (with 'here' underlined as a friend-link)

How do you do this? I think its a great strategy and would like to try it. I use friend-links a lot - but individually as and when I want to send a story to one of my family who may not be a Medium member, but your system offers any chosen story to anyone who reads your stuff. This is a 'wow' ... pdo tell me how to do this! I'd be most grateful.

Hello ... this is Fred

Thank you too for reading some of my Medium stuff and deciding to follow me. Thank you for ‘the follow’.

After checking out your Home Page and liking what I found, 9in addition to the link idea) , I have decided to follow YOU.

I’m happy to have you as one of my new Medium friends, and I wish you all the best with your own writing journey.

Fred

👍😊❤

PS: If you haven’t yet checked out my various story collections, you’ll find them in an article titled: “NEW INDEX to Fred’s Story Boxes” pinned near-top of my Home Page ... Happy reading
