On Medium, You earn less than Uber cab driver. Many writers comment about medium partner program is all about beer money.

I know and It's true.

But you can't ignore fact about other writers who earns living from writing on medium. Medium is a subjective platform. You can't get rich on medium. Writers were writing on medium when 'medium partner program' not available, and will write if it vanishes in a few years.

I found extra benefits of writing on medium. It's always better to write on the medium than a similar platform like

  • Hubpages
  • Newsbreak ( Newbie and everyone is talking about it )
  • WordPress
  • Quora

These platforms work better in their own ways. Medium beats them in all areas. Writers on Facebook posts like Medium is waste of time and money, it doesn't worth it. 

I mess up with Medium, I am going to open my own WordPress blog- New medium writer

Yesterday, I read this line from my fellow medium writer, which torn me from inside to outside. Writers who write to get some bucks from this platform are actually expecting more.

It's good to expect more.

If you've quality in your writing you will shine from any corner. Quality works on this platform. Medium gives you extra benefits when you write on medium.

1. The medium platform helps you to discover yourself

If you need to discover a writer in you, I suggest you write in Medium. On medium you get 

  1. Free readers 
  2. Editors who evaluate your work
  3. Prominent publications 
  4. Writing opportunities

Many writers have said to me, they discovered their writing interest on medium. You won't get an engaging platform like medium, on the internet. Where writers make relations with readers.

2. You can get freelance offer by writing on medium

It’s none of their business that you have to learn how to write. Let them think you were born that way.” ~ Ernest Hemingway

Companies offer you a freelancing job by looking at the Medium profile. You don't need to write on Fiverr for a few bucks. Many writers do this mistake.

Your Medium profile promotes your writing potential.

When you write more, you get better at it. Clients come to you to get their work don Most writer use their medium profile to get a freelance job. You get the edge over other writers if you write on medium.

3. Medium is 1000X better than WordPress blog

Want to get demotivated ……… start WordPress blog

Want to earn $1 after one year …….. start WordPress blog

Want to waste $1000 on hosting and promotion….Start a WordPress blog

I know, you will thank me for these.

When you start a blog, no one look at it. Daily 400 websites start on the internet. Writing and running successful WordPress blo is difficult. You must have to opt for…

  1. SEO
  2. Marketing
  3. Backlinking
  4. Guest blogging 
  5. Themes 

You will waste time and money, and in return you get nothing. Writing on the medium is 100X worth more than writing on WordPress if you are a writer.

  1. Medium has high authority
  2. Medium has good internal and external traffic
  3. You earn something reliable on medium.

Summary

Medium is a social media site for writers. Except for earning and views there are other hidden gems on the medium you must find. The medium can able to boost your writing career if you seriously enough. You need to practice and work on medium.

Vocal Media is also the same platform like Medium where you can earn money by participating in their vocal challenges and writing on platform. I write both on vocal media and Medium. They are the best platform for writers.
