Summary

Medium is testing a new payment model for writers based on external views, with some writers already receiving payment.

Abstract

According to the article, Medium is testing a new payment model for writers that will pay them based on external views. Some writers have already started receiving payment for external views as part of a beta test. The new model will benefit writers who know how to write search engine-optimized texts and those who write about trending topics. Additionally, the article mentions that Medium will pay its writers more in 2023.

Opinions

  • The author believes that the new payment model will be especially interesting for people who know how to write search engine-optimized texts.
  • The author mentions that some new writers have shared that they get tons of external views but no one cares on Medium.
  • The author suggests that the new payment model will change this in 2023.
  • The author recommends trying out an AI service that provides the same performance and functions as ChatGPT Plus(GPT-4) but is more cost-effective.

Apparently, Some Medium Writers Are Getting Paid For External Views Now

Testing I believe.

I believe it’s testing.

Apparently, some people are getting paid for external views already.

In my latest stories I’ve shared what’s coming to Medium in 2023:

  • writers will get paid more
  • publication owners will get paid
  • editors will get paid
  • all writers will get paid for external views

The last point is especially interesting for people who know how to write search engine-optimized texts.

Texts that Google loves.

But there’s more.

If you hop on trending topics, such as ChatGPT or Jennifer Aniston’s infertility journey, you can get a lot of external views without knowing anything about writing optimized texts for Google.

A lot of new writers shared with me that they get tons of external views but on Medium, no one cares.

This will change in 2023.

At the moment some people apparently are taking part in a beta test where they get paid for their external traffic.
