Your friends at Medium have been enticing me with joining the partner program. From emails, ‘Learn more about the partner program’ tag above the white canvas, to ‘We like your style’ and ‘You read a lot.’ They have been wagging the chicken curry drumstick above my head, with 3 limited stories a month and I have been dying to unlock those black stars for a long while.
I have been wanting to read all of Shannon Ashley’s posts and all Tom Kuegler’s post and be in the loop. It feels like standing on the sidelines when 20K people are applauding for a locked post and I want to know why we are applauding.
I have been a blogger from 2016. I have a pretty decent blog in which I wrote musings and all about my life. I have written for several publications. When I discovered Medium, I loved how the posts were quality and writers had command over their work. I have read posts on Medium every single day and I have loved it.
I write daily on the commute. I have drafts, but I don’t post on my blog because I’m yet to find a niche and we are working on that.
I went Premium on Medium in July 2018.
I would have gone premium earlier and unlock every bookmarked story had M-Pesa Xpress, a mobile transfer and payment app been working. Whether the fault lies with Safaricom or Medium is still a mystery to me. So instead, I used my credit card to pay for the services.
