Here's my Medium page! I don't know why it took me so long. I was only peripherally aware of the site and didn't fully understand today that it's paid blogging, like Steemit. Only Medium pays you in US dollars delivered directly to your bank account.
That elevates it above even Steemit in my view, though I was on Steemit almost from day 1 whereas I'm a Johnny come lately to Medium, so I expect I'll have a much harder time succeeding there. Even so, it's another platform where I can monetize my considerable oeuvre, so why wouldn't I?
Well for starters it costs either $5 per month, or $50 annually (saving you $10 per year). I signed up for the latter. Then you have to join their Medium Partners Program (at no additional cost). This allows you to "lock" your posts so only paying members can see them. This is also the only way you can earn money on your posts there.
It's a gamble, but I've got a year to try and make back that $50. If I can at least do that, it'll be a wash. $50 is actually alot for me right now, but you've got to take risks to get anywhere, and better to invest it into a potential additional source of income than a game or something.
Anyway I'll report on how well it's working out for me over the coming months. Let me be your guinea pig!
Stay Cozy!*
