4 Things That Make Medium More Competitive For Writers

Inside Story

Medium is a blogging platform on which anyone can blog. you know what is the genuine beauty of the medium. You don’t need any hosting and domain to buy like many blogging companies, WordPress or Wix.

Medium has over 34 millions of writers but not all of them are active but many medium writers active throughout the months and few of them make over 100 dollars.

Successful top writer on medium makes over 10000 dollars per month, but they consider the medium as a full-time job. They post 36 articles on medium in a month. Is it easy to write 36 edited articles on the medium with proper editorial and research?

Medium gives equal opportunities to all medium writers. but few of them try to catch big fish on medium. Medium differs from other blogging sites. they have a subscription system and that is the supreme beauty of medium because they need not compete on google like other sites.

Medium has valuable paid traffic. what member pays medium, it gets distributed to the writer. I know how difficult more than any person to start a blog and make money from it. To be honest, I failed in blogging as financially after long hard work, but the medium was another opportunity for me.

Medium is an excellent platform for the writer, but to succeed in the medium you required a certain level of hard work and motivation, but what makes medium such a competitive platform?

1.Medium Curation

Every writer on medium always looks for medium curation as it is a way to reach two more medium members and medium supports your article distribution.

Writers on medium write quality articles which in turns increase competition. There are to gatekeeper on the medium first one is medium partner publication and the second one is medium curators.

If your medium story is accepted by a popular publication, then there are higher chances of your story getting curated.

Many medium writers know this secret, hence what they do? They publish it in popular publication and get curated fast. this increases medium story qualities.

2.A few Medium members

I am not saying that medium members are less, but they are not comparable to Quora traffic. suppose if you write an article on Quora you will get more views but you cannot earn anything from Quora. but in case of medium things turn round. When you write on medium, every member read will increase your count.

Actually, this makes the medium more competitive than Quora. Only medium members can see a medium post. medium has a unique business model which surpass its competitor in a different way.

The medium doesn’t care about organic traffic, unlike other platforms, it runs on membership subscription and will run next 10 years easily.

Having limited traffic with higher completion makes the medium more competitive. daily ten thousand writer posts on the medium which gives medium members choose to read medium stories and increase story quality. Yet, you can earn decent despite all these medium hurdles.

3.Medium algorithm prefers viral stories, not essay

There are two types of writers on medium: first are traditional writers who write on traditional topics, and others are modern writers who write on viral topics. The second tribe is making actual money on the medium than the first one. How?

Medium algorithm prefers viral topics such as stories about Donald trump and stories about the popular entrepreneur.

Stories about Steve Jobs and musk are going to viral in the medium platform. because of no one interested in taking suggestions.

Writers write stories like movies, they make the climax scene and make the reader curious and drive him till the end.

But most of the medium writer comes from blogger background who writes technically and with points to point instead of viral articles.

I saw people popular on Quora are also popular on medium. You know why? They know how to write viral content on Quora. the same principle they are using on medium.

Medium members demand catch and entertaining stories and that makes writers search for more viral content, and that makes medium competitive.

4.Member reading time

Medium has introduced a new system ‘ Medium member time in late 2019. Earlier it was purely based on medium member claps. As writers earning depends on medium member reading time, it becomes difficult for traditional writing who don’t have fancy writing skills but write an essay about a specific topic. They have loyal fans but don’t have viral stories, hence many outstanding writers lag.

It is difficult to increase medium member reading time to look at this example.

If your article is read by your 50 fans which gave you 1500 claps and you earned $25.

And the second example is they read your article by same 50 members with an average reading time of 2 minutes then you will get maximum $5 dollars.

I calculate this according to my stats data. Medium changed its way of paying and that made the medium more competitive and writers write on various topics instead of writing on one topic.

Are claps are still important On Medium?

Inside Story

Most of the medium members are from the USA

Over 70% of medium members are from the USA and this makes a medium writer more challenging.

Taste of reading differs from country to country. American people like politics, startup and self-improvement reading stuff.see which will work for you write according to it.

Look at this Data you can easily see that Medium traffic comes from mainly from two countries: America and India. But the medium has more members in America than India. also above traffic analysis is totally depending on google traffic, which is not considered by the medium.

Writers should worry about their internal medium member traffic because getting medium member traffic from external sources is difficult on medium.

Studies have shown that if you are story is ranking on google, then about 2% traffic you will get from a medium member which is far less from medium member traffic.

Summary

Writing on medium requires consistency and quality: it is two side game and it is up to you how you will play on it.

I saw top medium writers apply little but effective things, which includes

They post daily
they write and edit their stories
They write what works on medium
They work on titles
they work on images
they write on other social media platform
they connect with other writers.

Becoming competitive platform helps medium to generate more quality article and in turns makes medium members satisfy and medium writers indirectly benefit from this.
