I love Medium, it's been such a great side income for my business. Now also just starting to repurpose some of the best performing articles into video's too.

[@TheMoneyResolution]

Absolutely - that's super smart. Love it!

[@emmacolseynicholls1]

@@theseeker732 is depends. Some make a mere $10 dollars, others hundreds. My highest earning article has earns me over 2.5k. But I haven’t had a viral article in a long time.

[@reneboyesgana192]

How long you've been in blogging industry?

[@emmacolseynicholls1]

@@reneboyesgana192I have been writing in some capacity for a long time. Iv been a health and fitness coach for 20 years. But only started taking blogging seriously as a way to generate a side income around the time of Covid. So 3 years or so now.

[@ItsAsparageese]

I haven't seriously written for years & Idek why I've rabbit-holed my way here at this wee hour, but hot damn I'm glad I searched whatever keywords led me to this video, because this is just plain satisfyingly quality content! Like on the meta, the educator in me is just pleased with the execution lol. You do a really good job of delivering info in a varied-enough, enumerated-enough, spoken-&-written-enough way to keep my distractable meds-worn-off sleepy ass engaged, which is really saying something. You're most definitely walking your talk! Your sincere enthusiasm is really reminding me how much I used to love the general f e e l of internet publishing/marketing geekery when I was more immersed in the field once upon a time. Smh I was just trying to fantasize tonight about maybe getting back to writing articles, not actually planning to actually consider it for real, jeeez 😂😭 lol anyway, all seriousness aside, I appreciate the video. Your vibe is just generally great, love the candor & wholesomeness. Looking forward to checking out your other work & maybe sticking around!

[@XOAliciaMarie]

You were dropping so many unexpected gems that I’m gonna have to rewatch this video and take notes! Thank you you just gained a subscriber💕

[@CodingCarlo]

I was also considering to start blogging on Medium. Thank you for the video, I will give it a try.

[@TheMoneyResolution]

So glad it helped!!

[@joshc4136]

Thanks for the info!

[@MeraBaid]

Thanks for sharing, I used to write regularly on medium and have had a handful of viral articles, but never made nearly as much as you have, I guess I am getting a lot of offsite reads rather than internal. I also left medium to do other things and have my last baby but I'm getting started again and just trying to figure out how it works now, there are so many changes. Are your email subscribers your own email list or your medium email list (through medium?) also are they still doing curation and does adding referral links hurt that?

[@SteveVernon]

All right - so this was a great article. Is that what you call it on KZbin? Or should I call it a clip? Man, there's so much to learn. Anyway, I've been writing on Medium for a while, under two different names. I make between $50 to $100 a month between the two accounts. There has been ONE three hundred dollar month. For me, this is just rehearsal. I am about to retire from my day job this October, and I plan to make my Medium writing a significant part of generating the funds I'm going to require to meet my unavoidable financial needs. This video I just watched was great inspiration. Thanks for the tips.

[@SamAdeyinka-qk1vs]

Hey, bro! Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. I'm so grateful.... so, I just bought my domain and I was wondering if it's okay to connect it to medium instead of WordPress. Do you think it makes sense going forward?

[@hollyaleinesciorra3916]

That was a lot of content to nash on! Thank you!

Thanks, Frankie for the tips and secret sauce😀of your journey on Medium.

[@TheMoneyResolution]

Of course - thanks for watching. Hope it helps!

[@jordansarkisian]

I’ve actually been thinking about transferring my personal writing into an online article type blog. I’ve heard of Substack but sounds like there’s no search/SEO stuff so i’d need a built in audience first. Medium seems like the other biggest recommend but coulda swore I heard the policies have been changing a bit for the worse recently and the head guy left cuz he said they failed in some areas…this def still makes it sound like a promising platform tho.

[@AjaFranco]

Do it! I just started using medium and you can get boosted by publications. The new CEO has great ideas and cares about the writers

[@priscillaramos3033]

Hi, I just started publishing on Medium about a week ago..how do people find your articles?? How do you get paid?? Do you have to be a member to make money??

[@Digitalcataloghub]

Do you know if reposting blog posts from Wordpress to medium is a good idea or is this bad for seo? Is automating the two a good idea?

[@katiatahir6131]

Thank you so much for sharing that was really helpful ❤

[@TheMoneyResolution]

Thanks for watching!!

[@gremics-gallery]

I am only new to medium and wasn't all that aware of the passive income side of things. So thanks for the video and I will look further into the platform. You mention the short articles etc, However, do you still need to keep E-E-A-T and SEO Optimisation in mind when writing on Medium? It seems that anything connected to the internet MUST appease the Google Algorithm inorder for the wider world to have access to an artcile, irrespective of it be controversial or Not?

[@bostjantnt]

Great video

[@jyn3439]

Awesome..thanks

[@TheMoneyResolution]

You bet!

[@rachellejoachim2652]

These are great tips. These were helpful I like the idea of writing a script for youtube has well has your writing, I been struggling on medium but in reality I just got back to being constant I write weekly only.

[@stevenaustin3868]

hey i got question, does sign up referral link, same as membership link ?, if different how to get the referral link

[@melindajudy8742]

How do you get a referral link? Also I can't resize photos on the Medium platform. I have used canva but I don't know how to get the article from Canva to Medium other than thru getting a link from google drive then the article doesn't completely show up.

[@roobyguy]

Thanks for the video, got a real value from it, will implement you tips! One question I have regarding your last point with the affiliate link for medium subscription. I don't really get, how it works in your case as your article is for members only. So, those who will get to the end of the article and who will see the affiliate link would already be subscribed because non members can't read full article. Or am I missing something?

[@TheMoneyResolution]

Great question. I believe non-paying people can view up to 5 free articles a month before they hit the paywall. So the idea is, rank well in Google or get your article shared, then get people to read it all and want to read more but pay to do so. Hope that helps!!

[@roobyguy]

@@TheMoneyResolution definitely helped, thanks!

[@billybobb11]

I almost always hate these kinds of videos but I have to admit that this one is actually good.

[@TheMoneyResolution]

I really appreciate this feedback!! I hate to come off as bragging. Very grateful!

[@mindsetmel1017]

The take away I got from your video, was the referral at the end of the articles! Im wondering, do you need to become a member with medium to make money on it?

[@TheMoneyResolution]

Unfortunately, they no longer offer referal bonuses. And yes, I believe you need a $5 membership to earn money!

[@mindsetmel1017]

TY!@@TheMoneyResolution

[@HistoricalFinance-ow7bf]

Appreciate the advice on here, just a heads up, your medium referral link in the description is broken

[@TheMoneyResolution]

Yes, unfortunately they just ended the referral program sadly :(

[@swagnexttuber-boombeach7092]

Hi does deleting non performing article boost traffic?

[@padmajverma6784]

to get paid from medium do we need to take its premium membership?

[@SebastianPappG]

U publish in your own publication?

[@swagnexttuber-boombeach7092]

What could be reason behind suddenly no traffic on my medium article?. Did medium algorithm hit/penalise on my post?

[@wildafub4842]

How to do it if our country doesn't support medium partner provide the tutorial?

[@louisedawnauthor6590]

Can you have multiple medium user names for different lanes. For instance: I’m a corporate trainer who wants to share tips. But I’m also a cancer patient wanting to share my journey and medical content. I’ve also written twelve books and would like to mentor other writers. So I’d like to keep separate buckets with their own readerships.

[@andreiishybanov]

I am thinking to create few channels on medium under names Customer Service, Aviation Security, Football. I also have a channel under my name.

[@MECHA_GOD]

Did you self-publish the articles? If no please teach us how to get publications on medium.

[@khanhuda6793]

You have to submit your name to publication and when they accept so you can start submitting your articles if it get approved your article will be in publication.

[@digwealth740]

Thank you Frankie! Question: Can you publish on Medium in your business name?

[@TheMoneyResolution]

I don't see why not! Many people use pen names or aliases. "Money Resolution" (my publication) is technically my LLC name as well!

[@mariummoavia3513]

Hi...Todays i am starting my Medium Journey. Can you please make an updated video on initiating our career as medium writer in 2023.

[@mishall8697]

Can you tell me how to make a partner program on medium in Pakistan

[@lalitkc9267]

I just started writing articles on medium about 2 weeks ago and i have written like 5 articles so far but yet i haven't got single clap and response mann im literally getting sick of it so could you please give me some advice about it i would be grateful😢

[@TheMoneyResolution]

Focus on getting better and ignore the metrics. It’s a grind and will take time. Enjoy the journey. And think about your niche and core audience. Finally - nail those titles and subtitles. I always ask myself “would I click to read this?”

[@edvonblue]

I just tried posting on Medium and a red banner came up saying something about rules, and now I can’t post. Is this because I’m not paying money to subscribe to Medium? Is this a paywall that doesn’t allow non-paying members to participate?

[@suef1379]

I agree re: the fluff. If I click on an article that says X ways to Y, I scroll down until I see #1 and look at that.

[@basedhumanofficial]

same! lol 👍i HATE all the FLUFF!

[@meganfelix2583]

Can i write about my personal life i feel i have alot to tell other from my dissability to being adopted aswel as meeting my estranged dad for the first time at 16 years old

Can I join medium partner program after 100 followers in medium in case I'm an Indian ? Is it available in India ?

[@itssaranroy]

You don't need 100 followers anymore. You'll only need to become a paid member.

[@SimplyNobel]

Hi there, I gave this video a like 🙂 Just one thing though... I'm all for sharing referral links but I'm not a fan of the script you use. You make it sound like people need to sign up to a paid Medium subscription in order to write when that isn't the case. You need to subscribe in order to read unlimited articles. As I know you know. So I won't be using your words as it feels like false advertising which I'm not about. Besides that, great work 👍

Can I use a VPN to write from India, as it does not support the location? Has anyone tried it?

[@ytpremium8485]

Yes iam from india and i do..

[@BishtAshish]

It works in India, even without vpn.

[@cryptomambaindia2645]

Indian writer can start writing on Medium but Medium Partner Program doesn't work for India right now.

[@tomaccino]

You can only withdraw through Stripe and they can reject your withdrawal request. Consider using Patreon.

Am from Jamaica, I use a vpn to signup. But I stop using vpn now and it works fine for me.

[@robbybee70]

can you write satire on Medium?

[@mapinoita279]

[@Rungehenna]

Hi! This video is worth watching. I am a writer but didn't get international orders. Can you please help me or refer some clients. Watched your video from Pakistan.

[@MartySalo]

Hey Frankie! I've joined medium as a paying member, now I guess I need to do a better job of asking people to follow me. Only 6 followers on medium. I need to get to 100 before medium will invite me to be a member of Medium's Partner Program.

[@debradavis9312]

The reality on Medium is you cannot be very controversial no only in your articles, but in your comments. They can kick you off at any time without explanation. I have had a warning and 3 comments taken off, and I have had a story about heaven-they put a disclaimer on the bottom of it. This is not good advice. Believe me, you have to watch what you say, especially about trans and religion.

[@ger876]

[@21MZL14NandiniRana-jg1mx]

Please anyone can help me by giving me a reply ? I belong to India , so can I join medium partner program after 100 followers ?

[@marizamentzou3293]

If going viral was something we can replicate you'd be able to do it again and again yourself. Which is not the case.

[@TheMoneyResolution]

If there was a silver bullet to success, we'd all be rich ;) All I can do is give my best advice. and share my story.
