4 Ways to Monetize Your Writing
Without an email list
Writing can become a great way to earn money either as a side hustle or a full-time living. Most experts will suggest that you build an email list and then sell products to help monetize your writings.
While this is great advice, there exist important ways to be able to monetize your writings directly, without building products or needing an email list.
Medium Partner Program
Medium provides a direct way to monetize your writing through the Medium Partner Program. Through the partner program, you will receive a share of the $5 a member pays, when a member reads your stories. You do not have to become a medium member to earn money through the partner program.
To earn money from your stories, you do need to meter them, which means that non-members will not be able to read your story once they hit their 3 free stories per month.
Tips to maximize earnings:
- Focus on your headlines to encourage people to click and read your article.
- Write a great introduction that will hook the reader. The longer a reader stays the more you get paid.
- Make your stories valuable for the reader.
- Publish into publications…
