How to Earn Extra $ide-Income from Medium this Month
A little ca$h infusion to help your family
While many of your are quarantined at home, I thought it would be a great time to help you earn a little extra money. Times are tight right now. Many people lost their jobs overnight and millions are scrambling to find new sources of cash.
The near-future will look very different than the life we had a few months ago.
While there’s no guarantee you’ll earn a penny with what I’m about to propose, these are the methods I use to continue to generate automatic income, even during times of serious economic trouble.
What you can’t do, is give up.
Not only is quitting detrimental to your income and mental health, you’re missing an amazing opportunity to build a tribe of people who’ll come to trust you over everyone else.
When you start now — when the world is inside-out — your writing business will not only be in a great position to explode when things are back to (the new) normal, but you’ll also earn some great side-income in the process.
Not only can you earn money from writing Medium stories, directly, but it’s the only place I know that will basically pay you to grow your own audience. Every other social site forces you to pay to reach your audience.
Medium is ad-free.
The partner program is only a part of the added income stream
While the direct, Medium partner income is a fantastic part of my writing business, it’s not the best source. Instead of writing on Medium, only with the hope of earning a few extra bucks per study, you can use your Medium stories to work harder for you.
You can actually get paid by Medium, to build your writing business.
Instead of paying some social platform to boost your post, and maybe get a handful of extra hearts or thumbs-up, you can use Medium to build your tribe.
What do you do with a tribe?
You serve readers with your best work, give until it hurts, then you give a little more.
When you build a tribe through service, your tribe will help you in-turn. And you can do this automatically. Not only can you sell books and services. I have a little micro-course that pays all my annual business expenses every month.
You can do this too.
When you’ve got a list of your best readers, and you build a relationship of service, they’ll support your work for a long time.
You start with Medium stories.
Get paid to grow your email list.
Build your business with a model of service first.
Offer your tribe additional, books/products/courses if they want a deeper-dive. The model isn’t complicated. Yes, you’ll have to write your fingers-off. But only the writers with the tenacity to keep going during this time, will be the ones to make it through.
I know you’ll be one of them.
The core of this strategy is your tribe
Your tribe is the life raft around your writing business — like an insurance policy when times are tough.
While we earn a little money by building our list with Medium stories, we can earn a lot more money by building a dedicated tribe of core fans, continue to provide them value on a measured basis, and occasionally offer them something more.
Your tribe needs you now.
The world is scared. The entire world. If you have the tools to help your tribe in some unique way, you’ve got an obligation to them to do so.
Even if you don’t have anything to sell right now, you can make money from your email list. I’ll show you how if you let me. Tap the link below and I’ll show you.
I’ve got just the thing for you.
I built a free email masterclass for you. I hand-crafted the whole thing. It took me a couple months. I call the masterclass the Tribe 1K.
I’ll show you how to get your first 1,000 (or your next 1,000) readers without spending a hot nickel on ads. Past students include New York Times bestselling authors. Yep, the ones you see in the bookstore.
Your email list will help you build a legacy writing business.
If you want to grow your writing business you need email before you lose that valuable reader. Start your list before you need one. Once you need one it’s almost too late.
Guarantee your seat before I start charging an enrollment fee.
We’re waiting for you.
