Today we’re going through the good, the bad and the ugly of what it takes to really make money online using medium as an article publishing platform.

We’re going to show you some of the downsides to making money on medium and how much you can make. And I’m going to go in and show you exactly my secret method for actually using sites like this to get tons of traffic and make sales. And it’s actually really easy.

So first, let’s go ahead and dive into the hidden money secret for making money on medium.

Now, to start off, we need to realize how medium works and how the majority of people are getting paid by medium. It’s actually very simple. The writers create the stories. The readers become media members for like $5 a month. The media members then read the stories and the writers earn based on how long the people read.

It’s a lot like YouTube. You put a video up, some ads run on it and you get a share of the ad revenue. Very similar.

When we’re dealing with medium only the medium customers are actually paying a small fee to be able to read all the content on medium and medium, then shares a portion of that fee depending on how many articles and how long the reader actually reads. So if you have one reader who’s paying $5 a month who reads 100 articles, the $5 is somehow algorithmically split between the hundred article publishers that wrote the articles. Yeah, it’s kind of confusing, but it adds up more or less to a couple of pennies per view.

Now, don’t let all the confusion and the algorithms stuff sway you away from this because there’s actually people making big money. Here’s a screenshot taken right from the medium web site where they show how much people are actually making, which is pretty cool.

You could see here it shows the author’s percentage that actually make money. So the last reported one, 67 percent of the authors using medium actually made money. Now, they might have made like a quarter, but they did make something. We can also see that around 8 percent of the authors made more than $100 in the last month, which is pretty cool. Now, here’s where it gets pretty interesting. We can see here that in January 2020, the top author actually pulled in twenty three thousand four hundred and eighty eight dollars and sixteen cents in one month from writing on medium.

That’s crazy just for putting articles on a Web site.

We can also see that the top article has earned over ninety two hundred and thirty seven dollars just with one article I imagine writing one article and getting like ninety two 200 bucks. Pretty cool, right? But again, I want you to look at these numbers because only eight percent are making more than $100 a month. That means the other. Ninety two percent are probably making peanuts or portions of peanuts.

But again, don’t let that sway you because we’re getting to the good stuff in just a minute. And I’m going to show you how to use sites like Medium to drive tons of traffic to your Web site and make sales with affiliate marketing your own products or anything you damn well please. But first, a little bit more about how it works. First, you want to enroll in the media partner program. Second, make your stories eligible for the metered paywall. It’s a little button you click that says, Yeah, I want to get paid three. Submit your story for curator review and for earn money based on member engagement.

Sounds pretty simple, right?

The paywall looks something like this. And when you have the paywall enabled, if the person is not a member or not logged in, they’ll see a portion of your story or article. And then it will say to keep reading this story. Create a free account. They create an account. And if they pay, you get a portion of that through the algorithm. And if they don’t have an account and they don’t want an account, then they don’t get to read your article and you don’t get paid.

And the basic idea here is that you get paid a portion of the $5 a month based on how long people who read your articles, the more articles you put out and the more people read them, the more money you’re going to make. That seems simple enough, right? Well, let’s get in to the bad part and then we’ll get in to my ugly, dirty little secret about how to make this thing super profitable and get tons of traffic.

Now, the bad part of this is pretty obvious when you look at the fact that only 8 percent of the writers are making more than hundred dollars a month. That’s not that many. The average majority are making next to nothing.

Another tough part is that you have to have your stories viewed by a lot of people in order to have a big payday. I actually spent most of last night doing research on this and from what I found, the average person is getting one penny to two pennies per viewer. So if you’re like this guy and he got three hundred thousand views, that means you’re going to average like two thousand to three thousand dollars in your pocket for that article.

But it’s A lot harder to get that many views than you might think because most people’s content strategy, it’s just put out a bunch of articles, throw them at the wall and hope that some of them stick so they can make some money.

Now let’s go ahead and dive into the dirty, ugly little secret to using sites like Medium to make tons of money online.

First of all, I’d like you to take a look at mediums. Alexa Rank. What is an Alexa rank? This is a ranking on how much traffic a site gets. The lower the number, the better. So obviously, like Google and YouTube are number 1 and 2, which means they get a lot of traffic.

Now, if you have a site like Medium and your number eighty four, you’re getting a crap ton of traffic. And that’s very important for me as a writer or marketer. And if you take a look at this chart here, we can see that the majority of mediums traffic is coming from search engine rankings. That means many people go to the search engine, look up something and land on a medium article or story.

Now, I got to tell you, I’ve been making money online for the last 20 years. And in addition to making millions of dollars on the Internet, I’ve also seen a lot of things and I can spot a lot of old patterns and new things that happen. And medium is definitely no exception. And since we know that the vast majority of traffic going to medium is coming from search engines, this actually reminds me of a site that opened up back in 2005 called Squid Do. The idea instead of stories on medium was that you could create a squid you lens and you can write content based on whatever you want.

And because the site was powerful, your content had a better chance of ranking in the search engines. Now, since then, Ski-Doo has actually changed their name to HubSpot, and they were never as big or as powerful as medium. So when we’re looking at medium, you have a better chance of getting search engine rankings, a better chance of getting traffic and a huge chance to make a lot more money. There was also a site that started years ago called Easing Articles with the same type of idea. The idea was to have users generate content that would get ranked in the search engines, get a bunch of traffic, and then easy articles would get huge. And it did for many years. Easy and articles was at the top of the list for many search engine rankings and it still ranks for some today. But what’s the secret to making this work? Can we just use these sites to rank for whatever keywords we want? Well, again, yes and no. The secret is to find easy to rank keywords and use mediums big wig status to rank them if you can find easy to rank keywords.
