Why I’m Joining the Infinite Greatness of Medium
When Premium Mediumites Tell You About Medium
Medium isn’t just a place to read

Are you tired of seeing your awesome work stuck in a digital void? Do you want to bring your words to life with awesome images, GIFs, and video? Are you better at blogging or tweeting?
We all know that it’s been growing from strength to strength since its launch in 2012. It’s become a platform for everything from poetry to conversations about science to political diatribes straight from the source.
It’s a place where thought leaders write and share their wisdom with like-minded folks who are also interested in what you’ve written. And it’s an ad-free platform, meaning no one is paying your way so you can address the masses of your readers 100 percent free of corporate influence.
Medium has done a brilliant job of making publishing easy and accessible (even easier than WordPress).
Viewer Stats On The Medium Platform
I’m not here to convince you that Premium Mediumites are right about everything. That would be foolish. Sometimes they’re wrong, sometimes they’re right. They’re humans, not deities.
However I am here to tell you that I read an article that mentioned the “view stats are down”, to some newcomers this sounds uncomfortable but let me tell you, things are getting better, not worse. You’ll have to take my word for it. As a newcomer to the medium platform, I have hopes of making 10k months as I have with my other businesses. Some of you might say that it’s a waste of time and others might say it’s a crazy idea.
There’s even mention of a new audio feature called text-to-speech that is supposed to be available.
The text-to-speech experiment is currently only available to a portion of Medium website readers, but our plan is to collect feedback and consider making it available to all readers in the future. — Warren Shaeffer

Let Me Give You The Stats
- Premium Mediumites have been doing this for years now, so they know how to set up their medium business right. They can give you tips on how to set up your website better and also advise you about what kind of strategies work for them.
So why do the stats look so bad? Well, it’s pretty simple, the Medium you see today is different from the one early adopters saw a couple of years ago.
The platform has been on steady growth and growth is a natural process. It’s normal for the growth to slow down after new users start generating real value for you and your business.
There is a lot of new content being put on the platform (new medium members signing up) and that means new content that is needed as well as a lot of readerships. It’s simple economics, supply, and demand. You can’t expect to have a big supply and a big demand at the same time.
They say that you need to write a lot of high-quality content in order to get a high-quality readership, right?
Well, this is wrong, you don’t need a lot of high-quality content in order to get your desired readership. All you need is some decent content and then targeting the right audience.
The medium platform has been at the edge of its growth curve for quite some time now, it just took another step forward. I know this because I’m a medium member and I can see new people joining every day. People will be coming in and you can reach them, it’s a matter of time, patience, and hard work.
A Beautiful Medium Experience
Yes, it’s the same in my life, I’m very busy but that’s ok. And let me tell you that this is not a whim, this matters to me and my readers and I will do what it takes to keep the quality of my work and stories on medium as consistent as possible.
Some platforms grow fast (think Twitter) and some don’t (think Google+), Medium is in the second category but that doesn’t mean you can’t make money on it. If you want to make money on this platform then you have to understand one thing; the platform needs time to grow first.
One thing you can do is to talk with an expert in the publishing platform of medium and you’ll learn that some mediumites make over 10k/month just by running their blog. In fact, most of them are making 10k+/month. A lot of people look at the stats and assume that the platform has stopped growing, but they’re wrong. The platform is still growing and it will grow even more.
You might be thinking “Where are you getting your stats from? Who are these experts?”. I won’t mention any names but you are assured that I am 100% right. Just take my word for it and do your research, you will see.
The truth is that the platform has grown and it will grow more, we’ve just reached a new level of growth. There was a time when the platform didn’t have a lot of new medium members signing up but since then there have been many people joining and every single one of them is building their own business, blog, or improving their creative writing skills.
I will say a few things about the platform’s stats and you can take those stats as they come, just be patient and do your research and you will understand the situation. I know that there are people who are upset right now but rest assured that everything is fine, there is just some adaptation happening on the platform.
