I've published over 300 stories and have had up to 250k monthly reads to my stories. In this course, I will show you how to do the same and what are the mistakes to avoid. 0:50—Introduction to Medium Let me show what Medium is and what it is not. I will talk about the audiences, show my best-performing stories (and earnings), and showcase why it may/may not be the platform you should join. 8:09—Writing for Medium audiences Let me show you what it takes to write viral stories on Medium. I wrote one of the most popular stories of last year, and I've written a bunch of viral content. I will show you what it takes to get there in this section. What topics and workflows should you use and what strategies work best. I will talk about templates, and providing value, and also I will show you how to use Medium's editor in the first place. 30:44—Distribution & SEO In this part, I will show you how you can get reads from Medium as well as from outside of Medium. Surprizingly, the latter has been the best strategy for me and currently, I'm not making a lot from the Medium partner program. SEO stands for search engine optimization and it just means that the Medium stories can rank on Google, and this is something you can take advantage of by doing affiliate marketing (i.e. showing products and getting paid.) 42:49—Monetization Let me show you how to make money on Medium. There are two ways: Affiliate marketing and Medium Partner Program. The latter is harder, you need to join the program and basically go viral on a regular to make it work. However, the affiliate strategy is easier. It's free and it means your stories rank on Google and bring in passive income—as long as you write helpful content and are first to the party. 48:10—Growth on Medium Let me show you what it actually takes to grow on Medium. I'll talk about the workload, the best resources, a course, and the overall mindset and my experience as a Medium author. I will give you clear next steps to go from here.
