How To Become A Part Of Medium’s Partner Program — I Did It
I’ll tell you how I did it, and how easy it is.

So I want to clarify one thing. If you only want followers to become a part of the partner program, then that is quite easy — I did it within a week, and I will be happy to show you how I did it.
But if you want followers because you want to earn a great amount of money, then it is not easy. I’ll tell you why.
Being a part of the medium partner program is not equal to earning a great amount of money from your posts. Not even close. You have heard it before, it is not the followers, but the number of reads that count. So you can choose two roads:
- Interact with others' blog posts and use the follow-for-follow method (you can follow up to 125 a day), and you will have 100 followers in no time, which is the threshold for becoming a part of the Partner Program.
OR
2. Build an honest follower base that reads your content. However this will take time, but when you hit 100 followers you can be sure that you are three steps ahead of people who only focus on getting the followers.
So what did I do? I choose road 1, and nothing is wrong with that, except that most of my followers might not be interested in my posts. And personally, I see nothing wrong with people striving towards the 100 follower mark, so they can earn money from the hours they put into writing. Just remember, 100 followers are not the same as 100 reads, and it is the reads you and I should be interested in. The followers will come automatically along the way.
What are my plans?
I am happy that I got accepted into the Partner Program, but it did not change anything on the other side. Or that is not true, I have earned $0.05 — wuhuu. But seriously, 100 followers do not change anything if your followers won't read your content. So my plan now is to keep providing value and only follow other writers on the platform that write valuable content.
