Didn’t Get The $500 Medium Bonus? I Have Zero Sympathy For You

Surprised? Come on, it’s not that surprising.
Wow, what a time to be alive on Medium, eh? Just last week Medium sent out $500 bonuses to 1,000 people out of the blue. So many students from my Medium Mastery course messaged me saying they got their bonus!
What a time to be alive on Medium.
For the last few months I’ve heard a lot of complaining (Okay, I’ve complained a bit, too) about Medium being pretty much impossible to make money on.
HA! What about this, then? I saw writers who average 2,000–3,000 monthly views get a $500 care package out of nowhere.
What did we learn from this craziness?
Medium Needs To Please Their Writers
We learned that you can never guess what the heck Medium is going to do. Medium is an established business. They WANT to succeed. For them to succeed, they need you to succeed. For them to succeed, they need you to stay on their platform and continue creating dope stuff for them.
As long as there is competition to Medium (hey Substack and Newsbreak!), and as long as the market continues to decide that…
