Wowzers! Did You Know Medium Hands Out $500 Bonuses?
I had a nice surprise hit my inbox today
With all the negative stories floating around about Medium lately, I thought it might be nice to have a morale booster. I just got the most amazing email. Medium added a $500 bonus to my April Partner Program earnings. And I’m not the only one. Here’s what the email said:
“Medium members are discerning readers, drawn to great writing — like yours. To recognize the writers who made the most impact on members this past month, we’re rewarding 1,000 writers with a $500 bonus. Congrats, that’s you!
You made it here because the stories you published in April received the most member reads, claps, and follows. So nice work! It’s writers like you that make Medium and the Partner Program a living network of insightful thinking. Keep the good ideas coming.”
It bodes well for the future
I honestly don’t know if this is something that is done every month and I just haven’t made the cut before or if this was a one-time deal. I’d love to hear from other writers who have received bonuses — either this month or in the past. What I get from this, though, is that Medium is making good on its promises to continue to support independent writers.
