How to Make Money Writing on Medium

What is Medium?

Medium is the only platform on the Internet right now that allows anyone to sign up, post an article, and get paid earnings immediately.

Medium is an online publishing platform developed by Twitter co-founder Ev Williams. The platform contains a hybrid collection of amateur and professional people and publications, or exclusive blogs or publishers on Medium.

Why You Should be Writing on Medium

Design-Medium’s layout is simple, clean, and allows anyone to create a stylish post or publication with minimal technical expertise.

Massive Built In Audience-Medium has nearly 100 million unique monthly readers. It also has somewhere between 200,000 and 400,000 paying subscribers. For a new writer, Medium has an unparalleled built in audience.

Free for Writers-A common misconception is that Medium is expensive to write for. This is completely false. Medium is absolutely free for writers.

High Domain Authority (DA)-Domain Authority (DA) is a search engine ranking score developed by Moz that predicts how well a website will rank on search engine result pages (SERPs). A Domain Authority score ranges from one to 100, with higher scores corresponding to a greater ability to rank. Medium’s 96 Domain authority makes it a force to be reckoned with when it comes to competition among otherwise equal pages in search engines.

Publications-Medium allows writers to add their articles to existing publications (which greatly amplifies your content as an author) or to create their own publication.

Why Should LinkedIn Writers Consider Writing on Medium?

I see countless amazing articles written on LinkedIn that get relatively little exposure. These articles are fleeting in their views and while they may generate followers, you can't easily embed contact forms and lead generation forms.

LinkedIn writers can even repost their articles on Medium. Medium allows this and allows writers to manually edit their article's canonical links, so you can pass on any SEO juice to your original LinkedIn article.
