What is Medium?




Medium is a blogging platform that is worth a look.  Medium has a new partner program that allows you to get paid for your blog content! 


Medium allows you to read 3 locked stories for free every month as a kind gesture. After that, they lock your profile down if you are not in the partner program.  
All you need to know is, there’s tons of locked stories on Medium’s platform, as well as regular people making over $1000 + per month and more from the Medium partner program.


Getting into the partner program is really simple. It just requires a subscription which is only $5 a month plus having a least 100 followers. Writing consistency is the key. See the link below on getting followers:



Medium vs. Google

Using Medium as a search engine gives you some fringe benefits with fewer clicks than 
Google when it come to content creation.


Read from the pro's

Check the follower count from your favorite writers and read the content. Top writers have an easy-to-read style. They provide valuable information in their content area and in most cases provide pros and cons on their methods, saving you some leg work.


Bonus Tip #1:

Write about applying a process you  learned and the outcome.


Search by tags and get ideas

You will see top content in each tag area already vetted by views and quality. SEO has already been applied to these articles if they are Top-ranked. Tags are considered a type of SEO too. Each writer may cover a different point of view on the same subject.


Bonus Tip #2:

Did they take the content far enough? Can you put your own spin on it? If yes, a new post idea for you! I've gotten several new content ideas this way.

Publications can give you more visibility
Pitch to popular publications in Medium. they have clout and can give you more visibility. This looks good if you plan to freelance your writing services to other gig platforms. Use the platform as a writers portfolio.



Bonus Tip #3
Flip the script. If you have enough content create your own publication. Have a niche and let other creators come to you.

  • Medium has high authority

  • Medium has good internal and external traffic

  • Medium is cutting edge when it comes to business, social media, personal finance and content creation. 

  • You learn & can earn if you post consistently 

Don't reinvent the wheel
You don't need to build your own site from the ground up and promote from scratch when you have a platform that has features and a built in audience. You must capture their attention and get the word out.


Use social media to promote your best work. Don't forget to comment and clap for your favorite writer's articles that have helped you.
