Member-only story
This Simple Trick Really Helps You To Increase Your Referred Member Count
Most writers don’t use it.
I see many writers who are missing out on the chance to gain (more) referred members.
Why?
⚠️Because they don’t utilize Medium’s most powerful promotion tool — the Medium friend link.
To be honest, most writers don’t even know it exists.
As you might know, non-paying members have access to up to 3 articles locked behind Medium’s paywall per month.
What’s the power of the Medium friend link?
The Medium friend link gives anyone free access to your story.
Plus, everyone who received the link can share it with others as well.
Here’s how to generate a friend link:
- Simply click on the chain icon in the top right corner of your story:
- or share your story directly via Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn.
