This is a case study about Medium Partner program earning. You will get a detailed report about making more money on Medium. There are some writers who are making a low amount of money on Medium.
I am writing on Medium from March 2019. I have learned a lot of things writing all those years. Medium is not like other platforms, take, for example, Quora.com which is one of the competitors of Medium.
The two prominent ways to make a lot of money from the Medium Partner program are to either the curators select your story or getting published in a popular publication, but creativity in marketing your story didn’t stop here. As famous quote is;
There is more universe beyond the sky.
You might know that Medium has changed the system of paying its partners. Previously, you will get paid when a Medium member clapped for you and engage with your Medium story. Now, in the updated system, you get paid for the number of minutes a Medium member read your story. This seems to be the most correct way to let people make money. If you are curious about how much Medium is paying its users per minute read time, then you need to read this Medium story.
