How I’ve Leveraged Medium To Build A Business On My Terms
--
When I started writing on Medium, my only objective was to earn money from Medium. If I could write articles whenever I wanted, about whatever topic I was interested in, and earn a few hundred dollars, I’d be happy.
I treated Medium like another freelance writing client.
I started publishing consistently in September 2021 and had earned $3,000 by the end of December.
Medium became my favorite client.
There were no due dates or edit requests. But, I had no clue how much Medium would pay me. Some months I earned $2,000+ and other months I earned $400.
I learned it’s best to average it out instead of comparing month to month because some stories would go viral, which wasn’t really within my control.
Since I started writing consistently on Medium, I’ve learned that getting paid from the Partner Program isn’t the end goal.
One day I got a business lead that said they’d found me on Medium.
Then another.
And another.
And another…
The Medium Partner Program payments quickly turned from a “client” to a bonus.
It was like getting paid to advertise. I could create content that fueled business growth, and get paid for it.
I’ve earned $10,000+ from the MPP. But I’ve earned way more from the leads and clients who found me via Medium.
I’m going to share some of the strategies I use to market and grow my business while writing and earning a nice bonus from Medium.
You can use these tips to grow your business, sell eBooks, courses, etc.
Give them the bag
One of the best things you can do is share your best stuff.
I’ve published 80 articles about SEO on Medium. I don’t hold anything back. I give people my best tips and strategies. These are worth more than a $1,000 SEO course.
All of that info is useful, valuable, and easy to understand.
You can read exactly what I do and go do it yourself. If you did, you wouldn’t need to hire me to do your SEO.
