My article on multi-monitor setup was chosen for further distribution, and it has a few affiliate links.

As a Medium writer, I have some questions as I move forward in my journey here. Do I keep on submitting articles to different publications? Sometimes rejection still stings.

Do I first need to become a great writer? I solved that one and chose to write and become great in time.

Do I find other ways to earn on Medium instead of relying on the Medium Partner Program?

Do I strive to be Medium curated all the time?

And finally, can I start adding my affiliate links inside my stories?

Medium Curation — Chosen for Further Distribution

When I was starting, it was a goal, and until now, it gives me a sense of accomplishment when I see that my story has been curated.

But by now, everyone who has been curated knows that it does nothing to your stats. It doesn’t help your story gain traction with the readers.
