Evan Williams, former Twitter co-founder and CEO, launched Medium. Ev invented Blogger, an early blogging platform. Medium, like Blogger, was designed for medium-to-long-form material, although it has numerous social media characteristics. (Fun fact: “Medium” comes from there!)
Medium has a built-in audience (over 100 million users, 1 million of whom are paying members) and a proprietary algorithm that delivers material depending on what a reader wants, like social media.
Having no ads on Medium is great. A user subscription model supports it.
Everybody may read and write on Medium. Simply create an account and start reading or writing Medium “stories.”
Join the Medium “Partner Program” and paywall your content to make money. More about the Partner Program and its operation soon.
Medium users may read infinite articles for money. Free Medium users may only access non-paywall content.
Medium pays Partner Program writers for premium members viewing and engaging with their paywalled content. This money comes from member subscriptions.
Members’ membership fees benefit authors they read and keep Medium ad-free. Medium paid subscriptions are recommended. The Partner Program requires paid Medium membership for authors. It costs $5 per month. The highest tier is $15/month. Higher prices mean more of their membership cost goes to authors they read.
Authors don’t get paid for free readings or engagements.
