2nd or 3rd time watching this excellent, educational video. This time I took 2 pages of notes. Hudson is an excellent educator. Full disclosure: I am also a subscriber to Hudson’s Substack, which I credit for helping me to collapse time frames in getting to the $1,200 income per month mark reasonably fast as a part-time writer.

Ah, that’s too bad. 🥲 The Medium Partner Program is unfortunately not available in India. So, your next best option is to promote affiliate links. Here’s a video on how my friend uses Medium to earn money without the Partner Program: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKCuloWog5qCbpYsi=ERGl5ZlEM3-z6Pe0 I hope it helps! 🙂🙌

@AlbertoCabasVidani 7 ай бұрын

I went all in on Substack in the last 30 days too. Its uniqueness is in the Notes platform, a replacement for X or LinkedIn, and recommendations. Then there are several other features that increase reach and conversions. Beehiv does not have them.

I wish someone would do a video showing a clear path from zero subscribers to 5 figure monitization, with a case study that can be emulated by anyone. That would be of HUGE value.

I wish to ask whether i can earn anything from organic searches on Medium apart from the paid members.

@hudsonrenniewrites 2 ай бұрын

The Medium Partner Program only pays for member reads. So, if you're leveraging organic traffic, you'll have to sell/promote products or services to get paid. 💰

@@hudsonrenniewrites Thanks so much. How about: How long does it take for good stories to rank organically, let's say as a new member, before I join the Medium partner program? Note that I don't even have a single follower at the moment. ha ha.

Hey Hudson, thanks for the useful videos. I'd really like to figure out, what's the best practice to repurpose content between Substack and Medium? I know Medium allows reposting articles with canonical links whereas Substack does not. But how would that affect the organic reach - especially for the Medium article? Seems like Medium has better SEO reach than Substack, so I don't want to kill the Medium reach.

@hudsonrenniewrites 6 ай бұрын

It's a really good question. I'm planning to start reposting my Substack posts to Medium in the next few months, so I'll have more information then. But, my preliminary thoughts are that it's probably smartest to post to Medium, first. And then repost to Substack a few weeks later, making small tweaks (headline, introduction, etc.). Since Substack's traffic is mainly internal, this seems like a good way to improve visibility. But, I'll have more information once I start experimenting! 🙂🙌

Can you tell me when the medium partner program will be launched in India?

@hudsonrenniewrites 7 ай бұрын

Medium hasn’t given a clear update, unfortunately. 🥲 It comes down to their payment provider. Medium uses Stripe, which isn’t available in India. With that said, I know many Indian writers who earn from Medium using friends’ or family members’ Stripe accounts. 💰
