Become a Writer for one of Medium’s Biggest Publications to Rank on Page One on Google
Get to know Medium’s Top 10 publications and how to become a writer.
In November, I was accepted as a writer in the Medium publication Better Marketing with 117K followers.
I had offered them a piece in the summer but they rejected it.
Well, rejection is part of the online writing game so I failed, and…
…finally won by getting featured a few weeks back.
To date, I have published six stories with Better Marketing and just found out that one of my stories ranks on page one on Google together with my YouTube video.

What you need to know about Medium as a brand on the internet
Medium is a well-known brand with millions of users.
It has about 725,000 paid Medium members.
As of November 2022, it’s one of the 377 most visited websites on the internet.
It has 145M views.
The advantages of Medium vs. a personal WordPress blog
I once had a personal blog and you may also have experienced this it’s really tough to get traffic on your page.
There’s a metric that you have to keep in mind when you start blogging. It’s the so-called Domain Authority (DA).
This is the search engine ranking score.
It predicts how likely it is that a website is ranked in search engine result pages.
If you start your own blog, your blog will always get a DA of one. Only one.
Medium as a well-established brand has a Domain Authority of 95.
For Google, Medium is a trustworthy source
This means it’s on the level of mega brands such as Facebook and Amazon with a DA of 96.
Competitors in the blogging ecosystem such as Newsbreak, Telfeed, Simily, or Vocal can’t compete with Medium in regard to their search engine ranking score.
When you write on Medium your stories are more likely to rank on page one than on any other blogging platform!

Bottom line
It’s smart to apply to become a writer for one of Medium’s biggest publications.
One of the reasons is that you can rank on page one on Google, and get more eyeballs on your content, earn more and hopefully even win referred members
Another great advantage is that Tony Stubblebine dropped the bombshell and explained a few days ago that trustworthy, high-quality publications will get a “boost access” to boost stories they really like.
If they pick your story, it will get seen and read more and your revenue will increase!
That’s why it’s the perfect time to test the water and apply to become a writer for a bigger publication.
