2. Create Medium Publication.

First, let us talk about Medium.

According to SimilarWeb.com, Medium has 153 million active users. So you are promoting your blog post with millions of users.

Also, you don't have to spend a single dollar to write on these platforms.

I have written a story - 80+ Free Resources for Web Designers and Web Developers in 2021. And Medium featured it on their homepage.

From that, I got followers, readers clapped it, shared it, and Medium paid me some dollars.

Medium has lots of advantages if you are a beginner. 

The most important one is Create Your Publication. Creating a publication is effortless. You can create it in minutes.

Write content daily => Import it to Medium => Create your Medium Publication => And add your story.

For instance, here is a publication name Code Blog where a community of developers writes tech content. Even you can be a part of it by reading submission guidelines and becoming a writer.

Creating your Publication is a no-cost investment. Upload your stories to your Publication, and the Medium team will help you to succeed.

How? By curating your stories.

So at least try it out.

3. Explore Quora Space

Now let us talk about Quora.

Quora has more than 190 million monthly active users. Now Quora created a new feature for content writers name Quora Space.

Create your Quora Space => Create Content or Share Others Content => Get Paid.

Before that writers write on Quora for their interest.

How do you earn through Quora Space? Quora put an ad in your space.

From here, you can share your content and increase traffic to your blog.

How I promote my blog on Quora? Find questions on Quora related to your niche and genuinely answer them. Add a link to your blog post for further details or add hyperlinks.

4. Write on LinkedIn Publishing Platform

We all know about LinkedIn. 

But due you know?

According to Kinsta.com, LinkedIn has over 760 million users, with more than 260 million monthly active users.

Also, Linkedin has a platform name LinkedIn Publishing Platform. 

Here, you can create and showcase it to the online world.

How I promote my blog post? Readers will read your stories and will visit your profile. In your profile, you have mentioned your website. So definitely they will read your blog post and even going to subscribe your newsletter.

Publish Articles on LinkedIn | LinkedIn Help

There are LinkedIn groups, Facebook groups, and Reddit where you can promote your stories.

You even send to Telegram groups.

5. Create Youtube Videos

I love Visual Content, and I spend a majority of my time on Youtube.

What about you? 

Writing informative stories is a little bit tricky. We have to spend our time to know more about it. Discover the surveys and format them. Then we shift to promote them.

According to a Hubspot survey of 4,000 marketers, most marketers spend 1–2 hours writing a 500-word blog post.

So you have the blog post.

Why not create a Youtube video? Visual Content is the latest trend.

You don't have to show your face. Also not at all your voice.

What are you talking about, Nitin? Yes, my friend.

Create animated videos. 

What about Voice? You have created your stories for your Blog. Paste it to a text to speech converter.

You can select a male as well as a female voice, according to your need.

There are various free apps available on the internet.

6. Publish A Book

What if I mentioned here that you do not have to write a book. It means it will be created automatically.

You will not be going to trust me. Right?

Think for a little bit, how? 

Ok, let me explain to you.

You are a content writer, and you are writing to a specific niche. For example, I am writing for Web Developers.

So I am going to write topics like - 

Getting Started and Earning $105,813/yr as a Web Developer for Beginners.

80+ Free Resources for Web Designers and Web Developers in 2021.

A single-story of mine is about 1,500 words. So, after writing 10 posts on Web Development, I can format it in a book as well.

Yes, it will take time but not more than a day or two to edit it and format it.

What do you need for this? Original Content. As long as the story is yours, you can share it with different platforms and even create a book.
