The 4 Pillars Behind Consistent $$$$ on Medium
If you’re struggling to make good money on Medium, read this.
Medium isn’t a place where you can expect to make a full-time living.
I don’t say this, but product manager Ariel Meadow Stallings said these words in the most recent Boost Nomination Program meeting for editors.
So yes, if you’d been hoping to read this and become a full-time writer just by depending on Medium, I’m sorry to burst your bubble.
But here’s the catch.
The definition of a “full-time living” differs depending on where you stay. If you’re from the US, $1000 a month is loose change. But if you live in a small city in countries like India, Pakistan, or Bangladesh, $1000 per month can be a life-changing amount.
Sure, it’s not a full-time living. But outside of these $1000 a month, you’ll also get —
- Exposure to a global audience
- A platform to build your portfolio
- Sponsorship opportunities with brands
- Visibility for your services and digital products
- A community of loyal readers and writer friends
And more.
