A Short Guide to the Medium Platform
It is free to join the Medium Platform; all you need to do is register.
Once registered, you can read a maximum of three stories or articles per month, but publishing your work is unlimited.
I read recently that Medium receives over 145 million views each month.
I joined the Medium platform to share my stories about the universe and life. I have had a keen interest in those topics for as long as I can remember.
It took a few weeks before I gained 100 followers, which at the time was one of the requirements for joining the Medium Partner Program.
I don’t like the idea of “If you follow me, I will follow you.” I much prefer to get followers naturally.
Joining the Partner Program means that you can get paid when someone with a subscription reads your article or story for at least 30 seconds.
My earnings so far are not going to change my lifestyle!
Medium is a social publishing platform, home to a diverse array of stories and articles. Anyone can contribute and share a wide range of topics.
640 people have taken the time to follow me.
My monthly membership fee costs me $5 and can be cancelled at any time.
A paid membership gives you full access to all the stories and articles written by thousands of authors on Medium.
A membership fee directly supports the authors of any stories or articles that you read.
