The Love Metric

If you’re publishing content, one useful way to measure success is to read what people are writing about it online. Margarita Noriega, who’s the current managing editor of Morning Brew, calls this the Love Metric. When she sees someone saying something nice about her work online, she shares it with her team. I did something similar when I worked at Figma: I pulled together links and screenshots in an internal FigJam file, which I entitled the Wall of Love. Inverting this relationship is useful: to support a person creating media online, show them love. If their work resonates with you, email them to quickly say thanks. Better yet, say something nice in public. Share it with your friends. Show love while you can. Who knows? Your contribution might give them the energy it takes to keep going.
