#1. LEVEL UP YOUR SKILLS
You’re going to need to do to be able to make $100 or more on Medium is you’re gonna have to have your skill level up to the point where you’re even able to get any attention whatsoever When I was Researching I came to know about one Person, He came onto Medium pretty late he came on to Medium after it was quote-unquote saturated but he had already had years of experience writing on other websites particularly the website Quora and he had a lot of experience he jumped right in and he kind of shared his earnings with me and he cracked that $100 mark in the first month.
So, what does that tell you? It tells you that experience and the quality of writing that you put out there matters a lot now. You have to be absolutely positive to be Successful on Medium and you have to developed the quality and level of writing that it takes to be successful on the platform and Always Remember their are lot of new writers is they’re super duper duper new right Now they not have much experience but Now you have some experience and skills to compete with them and win.
Before You Start Writing On Medium You Should Know
- How to put a blog post together
- How to write Intriguing headlines
- How to write the introduction in the body and get people hooked and
- The type of ways and methods that can kind of create that virality that you need to be successful in the platform.
If you’re super duper new You Should practice your writing before you even start publishing on Medium you know so a lot of people are talking about this idea of curation jail where if you start writing on Medium right away and a couple of your articles don’t get curated which means they kind of get put into promotion by the editors that the editors will tend to ignore you.
No one knows about the idea of curation jail existing or not but I’ve looked at some various sources and I do believe it exists in that you know if your writing is of such a low quality and it’s very obvious and evident then yeah the the editors aren’t gonna look at your stuff for a while because they they’re pretty certain it’s not gonna be good right so either you can make your bones elsewhere and try to get the skills ready before you get on or you’re just gonna have to get on Medium and understand that for a little bit while you get better at your writing you’re not gonna really hit that income quite yet before.
If you want to stick on Medium there’s publications like Illumination that are really friendly towards beginning writers you know you could just keep a wordpress blog and just practice write blog post 30 blog posts on your personal blog for a month and then get on to Medium but what I will say is getting your quality up is gonna be a key factor and since I saw someone who came fresh onto Medium with zero followers and by improving his skills. He Reached 5k Followers in 6 Months.
If You implement these techniques and then once you have a little bit of experience under your belt you’ll be in a position to hit that First $100 month and Beyond
#2. PUBLISH MORE AND QUALITY STORIES
This Tip would be kind of the going all-in approach that I believe it would help you reach your first $100 month. One of the things I mentioned often about being successful on Medium is that you really want to hit a certain volume of articles and It is better if three to five articles per week but if you really wanted to go in challenge yourself and this is for people who kind of have a little bit of experience under their belt publish a brand new blog post 30 days straight into a publication each time you do it and you know try your best to write articles you know that one or two of them have a chance to really make up for the rest of them knock it out of the park and help you reach that barrier.
Now, you know the idea of making $100 from 30 articles that still still not a lot of money right that’s the equivalent of $3.00 per article it’s not a lot of money at all but what it’ll help you do is break that psychological barrier of kind of hitting a round number for your income goals and the next thing that you’ll understand is that you’re gonna build cumulative rewards for your effort in the long run.
The fact that it’s probably gonna take you a solid year of hitting that volume and really putting the top quality persuasion methods into your article so to speak before you start to hit a real attraction point and for you you know the traction point could be a couple hundred dollars a month a thousand a couple thousand things like that you know you’re really not gonna be on the growth curve to making it a full-time income or I haven’t seen anyone do it in anything less than about a solid year so understand that when you’re having that $100 a month it doesn’t seem like a lot of money but you’re planting kind of the seeds to have bigger income in the future.
So, you need to understand that hitting it hard and delaying your gratification upfront and making sure that you’re getting the quality first the audience will recognize quality Medium will recognize quality there is not some insanely talented top quality prolific writer on Medium who’s not making money this person doesn’t exist .
So, If you’re not making the type of money you want yet you’re not Checking one of those boxes
- Checking the experience box
- Checking the quality box
When it comes to the way you package your articles and put them in the right areas and then you’re probably not hitting the volume box either meaning you’re not writing and more importantly publishing enough so if you really wanted to do $100 in one month write 30 articles in publications with top quality using some of the resources I mentioned below and I think you have a pretty good chance of hitting that number.
#3.ENGAGE WITH COMMUNITY
Lot of people be really successful with and that is really kind of diving all in on into engaging with the community on Medium.
Yes, You Should comment on other writer article, follow a lot of people not in the hopes that they will give follow back but you should really be following different people kind of on your level a little bit above your level even people below your level.
If you really participating all the way through kind of the food chain so to speak from clapping to sharing to commenting to sharing by like tweeting people’s articles and taking out certain quotes from those articles and things that you will saw were insightful so this was showing true participation sometimes.
So the more you engage and invest in Medium the more successful you’ll be so if you were someone who put out 30 articles in a month in publications then,
