How to Use Medium to Grow Your Email List and Make Money From Your Writing

As a writer, you’re probably seeking ways to get more exposure for your work.

What if I told you there was a website where you could publish your writing and tap into a potential audience of 30,000 people per month?

And you can even make some impressive money at the same time?

Enter Medium.

Medium is a blogging and publishing platform developed by Twitter co-founder Evan Williams. It’s a fantastic place to share new articles or republish old blog posts and reach more readers.

Since I first began publishing there three years ago, Medium has helped me grow my email list by thousands of subscribers. One post I published brought in 500 new subscribers in a single month.

Additionally, Medium has helped me attract new clients for my copywriting and web design services. But you can also make money through the platform without having to sell your own products or services.

In 2018, Medium rolled out the partner program. It allows you to make money based on how much engagement your Medium posts receive. (Here’s my referral link if you find this article helpful.)

Yes, you read that right.

You can make money just by publishing your posts on Medium. And they don’t only have to be non-fiction articles! You can publish poetry and fiction too.

In April, I republished ten of my old blog posts and made $843.73 through Medium’s partner program.

55% of writers who wrote at least one story for members earned money in April. And some of those writers are making a full-time income through the platform.

If your posts are languishing unread on your blog and you’re struggling to grow an audience…

Or if you’re marketing your work like crazy but your email list is growing at a snail’s pace…

Or if you would love to start a side hustle with your writing but don’t know how to get started…

Then Medium is the perfect platform for you.

Today, I’m going to share with you how to set up an account and all of the strategies I’ve used to turn Medium readers into subscribers and build my audience while also making money on the platform.

Imagine your computer keyboard has started acting up or an appliance in your house has broken. Ugh!

If you’re like me, one of the first things you do is head to Google to see if there’s a tutorial that will help you fix the problem on your own.

You scroll through the search results, and one of the articles looks promising. You click it and begin reading, hoping it will help you.

But the author starts using technical terms and jargon you don’t understand. Your head begins to swim.

You don’t finish reading and, instead, quickly click away to another article so you don’t waste any more time.

Why did the author lose your attention?

Well, those jargon words and technical terms probably made you feel like you were trudging through a bog, rather than effortlessly sliding from one sentence to the next.

Are your readers having a similar experience when they read your writing? [Read more…]

Have you ever become so engrossed in a TV show that you spend hours binge-watching the episodes? (My weakness is British murder mysteries.)

Maybe your friends told you it was an amazing show that you absolutely had to see. So when you finally have free time on a Saturday evening, you decide to put on the first episode.

At first, you’re leaning back in your chair and enjoying the show, but you have one eye on your phone as you scroll through social media. (Yes, I’m guilty of this.)

And then: Bam! The unexpected happens.

A plot twist changes everything. [Read more…]

It feels like you’ve been staring at the computer screen for hours as you struggle to rewrite several paragraphs. You’re trying to capture in words the images in your head, but the sentences on the page sound lifeless and dull.

Maybe you’re writing a blog post about a recent trip you took, and you want your readers to hear the cacophony of the city’s traffic and see the neon signs drenching the street with color.

Or maybe you’re writing a sales page, and you want your readers to be able to envision themselves using your product. You want them to feel as if they’re already holding the product in their hands and can see how it will make their lives so much easier.

The ability to describe something vividly is an essential skill for every writer to master, no matter whether you’re a blogger, novelist, or copywriter. Vivid descriptions transform your paragraphs from vague and boring to engrossing and memorable. [Read more…]
