Using Medium to promote your Steemit articles
The first time I remember my boyfriend talking about Medium he said that he loves reading articles on their website. And many times during my Steemit-adventure he told me that he wished that I was going to publish my articles on Medium, because of his reading pleasure. Well, we all know that I'm not the kind of person to abandon Steemit, but I thought it was about time to bundle their powers! Let's see if I can promote Steemit a bit while sharing my Steemit articles on Medium.
I was clueless how to use Medium
Although I've been aware of the existence of Medium for quite some time now, I've not used my account until yesterday. I've tried to see how I could share my Steemit articles on Medium before, but it was a big mystery to me how to manage that on their website. For the 
The first step is easy: sign up for a Medium account
It may look a bit stupid to mention this here, but I knew for a long time that I really should make that account, but I always forgot to do so. My advice for all the Steemit authors that think they have something to contribute to promote Steemit/Steem, sign up on Medium, and start sharing your articles! I know there is a monetary system behind Medium also, but as I don't have any experience on how that works yet, I will not go in to that in this tutorial, but it may be good to keep in mind that you can make money there also.
How to share your Steemit article on Medium
When you are on the Medium website, you see your profile picture at the top right of the screen.
Click on it to see a drop down menu, and click on stories.
Then you will see this page:
Click on Import a story to go to the following page:
Just fill in your Steemit article link in the box and click on import. You will now see this screen:
As you can see, you can edit your story if needed or just add or delete some things before you publish it. I haven't edited any of my articles (so far I've published three of my Steemit articles) because I was happy with the way it looked. You can decide for yourself if the article needs to be edited by clicking on see your story.
When you're satisfied, you can click on ready to publish on the top of your screen. You're almost there! Now it's time to add the corresponding tags to your article:
You can use 5 tags for your article, pick them wisely. Then there is a little box that says: "Allow curators to recommend my story to interested readers. **Recommended stories are part of Medium's metered paywall".
As the metered paywall information isn't clear to me, I've used the contact form on the website to get more information. At this moment it's still unclear to me, but I figured that it's best to let them curate my articles and recommend them. Once I find out how the metered paywall system works, I will write another article about that.
Click on publish now, congratulations, you've just published your Steemit article on Medium!
If you want to go to your published stories, just go back to stories and click on published to see them. If you are working on a draft, it will automatically be saved so you can continue working on that when you want to.
