How to Use Your Medium Stories to Grow Your Email List
It’s time to stop working for free…
Medium is a great place to share your ideas with a pre-baked set of readers from all over the world. But there’s a catch. The partner program doesn’t really pay well anymore. This means, if all you do is write on Medium, for Medium, you’re also working for Medium for free.
