Summary

The author proposes integrating Spotify or YouTube with the Medium platform to enhance the emotional connection with the content and potentially increase revenue for both writers and Medium.

Abstract

The author suggests a partnership between Medium and music streaming platforms like Spotify or YouTube, arguing that it could significantly benefit both the Medium platform and its writers financially.

It is a fact that every platform needs improvement. Of course, you have already made the business strategies, but I believe that the comments from the users have effective importance.

I will also have a recommendation for the medium platform. This idea came to me while I was writing last night. I’m a bit of a classical music lover. I think that probably people on this platform have such a taste.

At least everyone has a favorite style of music.

Every time I write my articles, I open a playlist from Spotify. It allows me to focus and I can express my feelings better with that music.

After I wrote my article, I started reading the articles of the authors I followed. In general, they share 1 article every day and I read it with pleasure. I would also like to thank them for their contribution to the platform. Jessica Wildfire Tom Kuegler Dr Mehmet Yildiz Tim Denning .

Anyway, I took the word too long, I’m coming to the point right away.

While I was reading the articles, the songs I listened to were the same, but for some reason, I entered a different mood.

  • It was because of the music I was listening to.

I think writers shouldn’t just let words convey their feelings at the time.

Imagine that you are writing an emotionally charged piece and the song you are listening to at that time increases it.

I want to listen to those songs too

Let’s Connect the Platform With Spotify or YouTube

This will have 2 benefits.

  • medium and another platform will be able to establish a partnership and provide user flow to each other on both sides.
  • Many new users on the platform will become paid members, thus increasing the income of us writers.
  • We will be able to feel the writings of the authors better.
  • Both sides can earn tons of money seriously.

(Theme Music for a Dream — RIOPY was the song I listened to while writing a sad article yesterday, I’m sure you will feel different things if you read the article with and without this music.)

I don’t know, maybe I’m a bit of Polyana, but I have used the reading aloud feature of the medium a maximum of 3 times. But if there were these kinds of music, I would never have read without them. In this way, there will be a very serious increasing gain. Medium members can add payments to their Spotify account and vice versa.

Waiting for your thoughts. Together, we can offer our ideas to bring this platform to a better place. This is a nice place for me to escape from the real world and I don’t want to lose it, on the contrary, I want it to be much more successful.

After all, I pay my rent with what I earn from here, it is our duty to support.

I hope you like this idea Medium Staff , Medium, Medium Creators , Medium Engineering, Medium Support
