Over 1K Views On Medium & This Is How Much I Earned
The cold hard truth of writing on this platform
Medium is a popular platform for writers, thinkers, and creators to share their insights, stories, and expertise with a global audience. With its Partner Program, Medium offers an enticing proposition for writers: the opportunity to earn money based on how members engage with their content.
As writers on this platform, the moment we learned that we can potentially make some extra money by doing what we love sounds like a dream come true. However, the question has to asked, “What does this actually look like in practice?” So in this article, I want to share my personal experience about this subject and break down the numbers to show everyone the truth.
Understanding Medium’s Payment Structure
Medium’s Partner Program compensates writers through a unique model that doesn’t solely rely on views or claps (Medium’s version of likes). Instead, the platform pays based on the engagement time of Medium members with your content. So that means, if your content is being read by a bunch of people without a Medium account, then this means you get nothing.
