In this article I am
going to share a few information about medium partner program.
Through
medium partner program you can put a post from your user account behind
medium’s paywall and receive revenue based on its performance among medium
members.
Lets
see some of the best tools for medium partner program is given below.
1. Write frequently, and use the same tags.
Ever notice those “Top Writer” badges on your favorite author profiles? They’re a big deal, but not because they’re especially difficult to earn. The algorithm looks for people who write multiple articles with the same tags within a short period of time.Keep it up, and if your posts get a bit of engagement, soon enough you’ll be a Top Writer too.
The effect of Top Writer status is two-fold. First, it’s simply prestigious. Second, you will be featured when people sign up for Medium and express interest in your tags, which boosts your follower numbers and further increases your prestige, putting you in a better position when you start working the algorithm with paid articles.
Struggling to write multiple posts a week?Split your 1,200 word articles into three 400-word ones. Post little idea nuggets when they hit you. It doesn’t have to be epic, it just needs to be enjoyable for your audience and consistent in terms of quantity and frequency.
2. Don’t fear the re-post
While it’s great to pump out original content every day, you can also provide value to Medium members by re-posting all your existing work as member stories. In fact, if you take only one action from this article, go into your archives and copy every article you have ever written anywhere and schedule one per day to be published for members.
If your stomach doesn’t turn at the idea of re-posting, here’s another idea. After a few months, you can delete all your member articles and post them all over again. The way the algorithm works, the best-case-scenario shelf life for most posts is a month; after that, you’re not making any more money and your payout has been transferred to your bank account, so deleting it and starting again gives your post new life. And if you think about your mission and Medium’s mission, this makes sense — it’s such a huge Internet out there, and articles so quickly go stale, that it benefits everyone for a great article to be published multiple times and exposed to a new audience. The chance of the same person seeing it twice is infinitesimal.
3. Embrace the randomness of the algorithm
You may notice that re-posting your existing stories accomplishes your first goal — writing a lot with similar tags. It also opens you up to the serendipity of the algorithm. The unfortunate reality is that you are going to hear crickets on some articles — but if you keep it up, some will take off. The thing is, you don’t know which one that will be, and it’s not necessarily correlated to your “best” writing. It could be a catchy image or headline, or just a lucky moment in the black box of the algorithm. The more you post, the more opportunities you have for a win.
The other amazing thing about keeping up the pace is that one successful article tends to send traffic to other recent articles you’ve posted. If you’ve ever had a post take off, you probably noticed that your previous post picked up a lot of traffic in the subsequent days .
4. Build a way to make money on the back-end
If we’re being honest, there’s pretty much no chance you or I will be the outlier who makes $11,000 a month from the Partner Program. I don’t think you need to hit that threshold to be successful, but you probably shouldn’t count on Medium to pay rent, either. That’s why building a business behind your articles is so valuable.
When you hit the end of this article, you’ll see a brief call-out to my newsletter, where you can subscribe, get an awesome free weekly service, and eventually be presented with opportunities to buy related books and subscriptions. That means that every Partner Program reader could be a potential future customer, so even if I made no money off the deal, it would still be worthwhile.
If you don’t have one yet, set up a free newsletter and a quick giveaway and pitch it in your bio at the end of each article. You’ll be capturing value with each read, regardless of what Medium pays.
Get out there and start earning.While the Partner Program has its flaws and inconsistencies, it’s one of the few places where you can easily publish beautiful, calm, focused work and (with a bit of luck) get it in front of a significant audience and get paid. It’s not perfect, but it’s a very cool step toward a healthy relationship between writers, readers and the platform.
I conclude by saying medium partner program will definitely help you to make money.Thank you for such an opportunity.
