Last chance to join the Fika challenge

The 3rd Fika Challenge is coming to an end on April 10, which means you’ve got just 3 days left to make your move.

If you’ve already published your article, now is the time to push it, share it, and get people to engage with it! The winner of this competition won’t just be someone who writes, but also someone who knows how to get their content seen.

Want to increase your chances of winning?

Here are a few simple tips that will help you get ahead in this competition.

What you should do after publishing your article:

This challenge is designed to help you discover what works best when sharing your work and how you can grow your reader base more quickly. Besides sending your article to your followers’ inboxes, follow these steps to increase how many people you reach.

1. Share a link to your article directly

Copy the article URL and send it straight to your friends, family, and followers via WhatsApp groups, Messenger, Telegram, or anywhere your network is active.

Include a short message telling them about the challenge and asking them to interact with your post. Tell them it only takes two clicks.

2. Add a link to your bio on social media

Update your bio on all social media platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, and X with a short call to action like:

👉 “Check out my Fika Challenge entry 👇”

Then, add a link to your article there.

3. Post about your article on social media

Share your article on every platform where you have a following.

• Post on LinkedIn and add a short description talking about why or how you wrote this piece. Include a link to the article and ask your followers to interact by answering a specific question.

• Post it to X with a very short description of what the article is about and ask people to comment and react.

• Add a screenshot of your article from your mobile to Instagram stories and include a link sticker with a caption asking people to read and react on Fika.

4. Ask people for engagement

Don’t be shy! You should be proud of your achievement. Ask your friends to send an emoji reaction, leave a comment, and share your post. Tell them why it is important to you.

Share your work and win!

Engagement matters, not only because you want to win this competition and get two books as a prize. It is important not only because this challenge will teach you what it takes to grow your publication on Fika. It is important because writing can be lonely. Often, you feel like you are shouting into the void. This challenge will show you that your audience is out there waiting for you. You just need to take the first steps. Go and share your work!
