What are some interesting benefits of having your own Medium publication?

Medium publications is a great way to sort out your content on Medium and publish it where you can actually get more people who have a very similar interest. Medium publications is very important and if you sent your stories to different Medium publications that are popular enough, your Medium article get more views and engagement if it is published in a popular publication. For getting Curated on Medium, the story content is matters but in some cases stories published in Popular publications also matters and you get curated quickly.

Medium publications is like Facebook group but on steroids.

Following are some of the advantages or benefits of having your own Medium publications;

1. You have your control over the content

I have submitted a story to Mind Cafe, and as usual i have waited for that story to be published in that publication for over 2-weeks, the sad part; that story was rejected. Now, i had to published this story somewhere else. My mission was to publish everyday but i lost the track. “What if i had my own publication?” All i had to do is to write a story and publish it in just in a second.

When you publish a story in your own Publication, you have control over your content. By control here I means that you can actually publish it in your publications, can share your thoughts without waiting for approval and if getting ranked in search engines, you don’t have to follow the guidelines off that specific publication because most of the Publications don’t allow CTA Or affiliate links.

2. You can make more money with less reads

As you can see in the picture given above. When you publish a story that has same tag(s), Medium will display your previous posts related to one of the tag your had added to that story. This is very empowering and you can actually present your past work in front of your readers. If you scroll down to the end of this story you will see a 3 related posts from this same publication, why? because the tags are same.

As Medium pay you for getting read time from Medium members, this gives you the opportunity to convert a single medium member read time into multiple reads.

3. If Curated you get more followers on your Publications

One benefit of having your own Medium publication is that you can actually grow your Medium publication if you published a high-quality article on your publication and it get curated. When a story curated on Medium in a specific topic, Medium algorithm is recommend that story to that topic followers, this gives you a golden opportunity to get more followers on your publications. You see, getting followers on your Medium publication will increase your exposure and more and more writers will want to publish stories on your Publication.

4. You can allow people to submit stories and this is a good thing for your publication

When a writer submit stories to your publication; your publication followers as well as the followers of that specific writer will get the story in their feed. This is like a Win-Win situation. In most cases, you get more content and the more you update your publication, the better the engagement from your followers. Accept great stories and if you can give more time, reach out to the other great writers on Medium who could publish stories on your publication.

One benefit of getting more stories on your Medium publication is that the stories you have published on your own publication will also getting reads because Medium display three posts at the end of every Medium story and in most cases, that story is from that same Medium publication.

5. You can be an authority figure in a specific niche

In this Medium account, I write about Medium and other digital publishing platforms, so maybe when i have good number of reads and followers in this publication. People might recognize me as a subject matter expert in Medium.com. If you are interested about Mindfulness, start your own publication on Medium and start writing every single day on Medium about Mindfulness.

I hope this will give you some ideas about the benefits or advantages of having your own Medium publication.
