Using Medium as an Audience Building Platform

Find your people and earn a little money along the way.

I’ve been on the platform for about two years now. The first year was spent reading and studying the methods of popular writers, the second was spent doing some writing.

One of my posts took off like a rocket so I decided to start paying attention and putting in a little more effort.

Medium is a great way to build community and should be a part of every business's marketing toolkit.

I started following writers, engaging with them, and bringing my real-world blogging experience forward. I learned the value of writing on Medium extends beyond the money directly earned on the platform.

Let’s look at some results and then an overview of my process.

My Top 10 Stories — Views

Two stories were big earners, but they have slowed down considerably. I should trim them as outliers, but this is the top 10 in both Views and Earnings.

I think people should build in public and share both what they learn and earn, particularly if they are giving advice on how to make money doing anything.

Do the thing and let us know how it’s working out for you.
