Help Build The New Medium In 2023
Medium's poised to have a big 2023.
Join us and be a leader of the new school.
Medium, since late 2020, has not had the greatest time.
Reach dwindled.
Publications fled.
Substack, to many, has eaten its lunch.
It came as a shock that in July of 2022, founder Ev Williams decided to step down as CEO.
Ev is a genius, but under his leadership the last two years, Medium jumped into the deep end and couldn't pull itself out.
My biggest month on Medium saw me garnering 150,000 views.
Those days are gone. For now.
Tony Stubblebine replaced Ev Williams as CEO and promptly reassured us authors that he was "doubling down" on supporting us.
He also shared that he was going to give us tools and incentives and "get out of our way."
For Medium writers who've been here for more than five years, that's music to our ears.
Indie writers took a back seat for more than three years. It seems Tony wants to give us back that power.
I've spoken to Tony on Twitter, and some of the changes he wants to make are incredible.
For one, he wants to give more power to publications to curate stories, and pay them to do it!
Second, he wants to boost popular stories more across all of Medium, like they used to do in the past.
Third, he wants to monetize external views, which is something many Medium authors have been clamoring for.
For me, that's all I needed to hear to have complete 100% faith in this platform moving forward.
The question is, are you going to help build the new Medium?
2 Big Opportunities For MediumWriters In 2023
#1. Start Your Own Publication
Get More Views
These are the stats for my Medium publication, the Post-Grad Survival Guide. 👆
A lot of people think Medium is a solo gig. It's just up to us, the writers, to write and make our own living.
In reality, starting a publication and inviting other writers to contribute to it can help you create something that gets tens of thousands of monthly views. That helps us to...
Get More Email Subscribers
It's the best kept secret on Medium that starting a publication can grow your email list.
Help Rebuild Medium
Big publications were always the reason that Medium thrived. When the big ones left, it only accelerated Medium's downfall.
Starting your own publication won't just get you more views and email subscribers (which leads to money), it will also make Medium a better place and help you feel more connected to the community.
Make Some Money In The Future (Possibly)
Tony plans to help pay publications for curating content in the future, but we don't know the exact specifics of this just yet.
It might be a worthwhile "investment" to start a publication now, grow it to 10,000+ monthly views, and be in perfect position to make money from curating Medium articles when he rolls this feature out.
I don't think it's going to take too long.
#2. Improved Organic Reach
I think we'll start seeing vastly improved organic reach in 2023.
Some of Tony's recent tweets talk about making tag pages more visible AND valuable. That's great news for people who know what the most popular tags are and write for those tags specifically.
He also touches on how publications are going to be in charge of curating in the new Medium. That means all you have to do to increase your views is write for publications again.
Finally, Tony wants to make sure that we get more content from people we actually follow on Medium.
That sounds a lot like the Medium that helped me get 80,000+ views per month. We're going to see better organic reach in no time.

"I have paid for many private Facebook groups, webinars, and online coaching programs of 3-12 months. Tom delivered one of the best programs in the shortest periods of time I’ve ever taken. Whatever you’re paying for the program right now, it’s actually worth 2 to 3 times that amount.
Tom is an expert on the Medium platform. He knows what you need to do, how you need to do it, the tools you'll need, and strategies depending on your goals. You only need to see his follower counts and stats as further proof of his experience and expertise."

"I love Tom's honest, direct, simple style of writing. But more than that, he's genuine, caring and positive. He always responds to emails. I happily paid to learn more from him.
The course transformed my next year on Medium! I learned how to get curated more often, build a following, and of course, improve my writing. Best of all, the course offers an ongoing active community that's nurturing with ongoing updates and a wonderful bunch of supportive writers.
If you're serious about writing on Medium, you've got to do this course and join this community. Cheers!"
Amanda Luketa
"In the past year or so I've spent ~$2000 on courses. Medium Mastery has by far been the most effective. Here's why:
- The information is organized in a chronological fashion, not by subject. This helps warm newbies up to the platform gradually, without seeming overwhelming. You get to build on your skills as you develop them.
- You're an actual human who is reachable and gives a crap. You interact with your students, engage in the community, and are there to provide feedback."

What is Medium?
Medium is part social media platform, part blogging platform. I like to call it Twitter, except you post articles instead of "tweets." You can follow people, get their articles on your homepage, and write your own articles as well.
How can I make money with the Medium Partner Program?
On Medium you can post "locked" articles which only Medium Members can see. Those with Medium Memberships pay $5 per month to read unlimited locked stories from their favorite authors. If these members "clap" for your story (the equivalent of a "like" on Facebook), you get a small portion of their membership fee for that month as a reward. So, the more followers you have, the more Medium Members are likely to see your articles and consequently "clap" for your them as well.
