A quick thought —If you’re motivated to monetize your writing, check out this 2 part article below. Might give you some concrete ideas.

Not Rocket Science

My way is simple and time-tested. Write an (entertaining) story inspired by culture and current events. Create cross-promotional products. In my case, I utilized Medium’s integration with Gumroad.

The approach is not new. Truth — I’ve been doing this for years for animated TV shows. When NOT working against 5 layers of approval, it’s fun. I’m looking at you, Cartoon Network!

Will it help make the mortgage? If you’re lucky, clever, and heavily market off-Medium, maybe? I’m curious to see how my own efforts unfold.

Speak Your Mind

What are your (non-abstract) monetization strategies? Medium folks are an interesting group. I have my own evolving tao — what is your way? Perhaps, we can learn together.
