The 4 Pillars Behind Consistent $$$$ on Medium
If you’re struggling to make good money on Medium, read this.
Hello dear friend
Medium isn’t a place where you can expect to make a full-time living.
I don’t say this, but product manager Ariel Meadow Stallings said these words in the most recent Boost Nomination Program meeting for editors.
So yes, if you’d been hoping to read this and become a full-time writer just by depending on Medium, I’m sorry to burst your bubble.
But here’s the catch.
The definition of a “full-time living” differs depending on where you stay. If you’re from the US, $1000 a month is loose change. But if you live in a small city in countries like India, Pakistan, or Bangladesh, $1000 per month can be a life-changing amount.
Sure, it’s not a full-time living. But outside of these $1000 a month, you’ll also get —
Exposure to a global audience
A platform to build your portfolio
Sponsorship opportunities with brands
Visibility for your services and digital products
A community of loyal readers and writer friends
And more.
Medium can be the platform where you kickstart your writing business. It can be the place you pitch your services and set the foundation for other income streams related to writing.
So yes, even you can’t make a living on Medium, it’s still an incredible place to start writing. I’ve been on the platform since 2020, and it’s changed my life. I got clients, sponsorship opportunities, speaking gigs, award function invites and more — all because of the articles I published on Medium.
In this article, I’m sharing the four key steps you need to remember if you’d like to make consistent on Medium. These have helped me for over four years, and I’m sure they’ll get you started too.
