Suddenly, this is my breakfast watch on youtube! Great content! My observation is that the blogging I used to do 10 yrs ago, is the same secret to get noticed- which is reaching out to other writers, engaging in their work so you get mutual engagement and help each other. At least in the beginning.
Hi Hudson, I really appreciate your videos. I watched. a bunch of them before joining Medium, so helpful for someone technically challenged like myself lol. Started writing on Medium this year. Getting the hang of it. Grateful to have been boosted a few times - wow - makes a huge difference. Hoping to have 1000 followers in a few months. Goals!!!
Thanks for the valuable info! It's particularly frustrating to see your following/reach stay the same but Imma try with that engagement trick you suggested 😁👍🏽
Great Video Again👍. I am also starting out as a new writer on Medium. So this might be a weird topic to ask but can you please make a video on "How To Write An Engaging Article" and show your entire process of how you write an article if you are comfortable sharing your process and making a video about it. Keep up the good work you are really giving some awesome tips for new writers like me😃.
Thank you! And, I also have a free template for how I structure all of my articles. I think it outlines what you're looking for. Here's the link: hudsonrennie.gumroad.com/l/100dollartemplate I hope it helps! 🙂🙌
Hey Hudson, more excellent advice. Thank you! Apologies if you’ve answered this before, but I’ve taken a break from all things Medium over the last few weeks after hearing how the algorithm change has crashed so many writers’ Partner Program income. As a newbie on the platform, I’m struggling to know whether it’s still worth the time and effort to build a presence on Medium. I have to divide my time between writing books and for my website (health-related), so I’d value your opinion on how important Medium should be as part of that mix.
Thank you! And, it's a great question. Truthfully, that's something I'm still determining myself, as I've seen a significant drop in my earnings. What I've done to balance effort vs. earnings is drop my schedule down to posting once per week, allowing me more time to focus on more profitable writing jobs. So, although it will take a few months of experimenting to really see how the changes will affect writers long-term, I think it's definitely still worth pursuing. And, if it turns out you don't like/can't work with Medium's new changes, Newsbreak is a great alternative -- especially if you write health-related content. 🙂🙌
Hi Hudson! Thank you for video. Your videos are showing your energy in your UA-cam job, congrats! Incompletely agree with your video. I would like to ask you to explain how to get followers but for a new publication. This is something completely different.
Thank you! I appreciate you. And, that's a great topic. Unfortunately, I don't have any experience growing a pub but I'll keep my eyes/ears open for people who may have some guidance in that area. 🙂🙌
Thanks for the video, dude. I'm still struggling to get started on medium, I'm not entirely sure if I should just go with my name and surname, especially if I might venture into writing political opinions which I might not want to associate with my existing personal and professional presence online.
@@hudsonrenniewrites Thanks man, I committed to creating a profile last night. I'll perhaps create a second one with my actual name, and then choose which profile to use depending on the topic. I realized that as much a pen name will help for anonymity, it will also prevent me from writing about anything 'too close to home', without potentially compromising that anonymity. Hopefully I'm not sounding too paranoid 😅
@@truthbetold8233 Good for you! That's the biggest step, so you're well on your way. And, haha, no, it's very common. Sometimes sharing stories from your personal life can be freeing. But, you don't want the fear of someone seeing it to hold you back. I would recommend to start posting and see how you feel. You can always create another account or change your name if it feels uncomfortable. 💪
Hi, thanks so much for your video, I am about to star my journey and your tips are super useful, a little bit scared, but it is something I have to do!. I will be writing in spanish first, so this is interesting because unfortately most ot the videos I find are in English. So i guess I will be cheking out the differences.
thanks for your video! I'm a little confused. Do you need to pay to write on medium now? Like do you need to sign up to the paid membership in order to get money?
You're very welcome! And, yes, you do need to be a paid member now. 🥲But, honestly, if you're serious about writing it's a tiny fee compared to how much you can earn. 🙂💰
Actually, this is a question from another video of yours that I just saw. I'm brand new and I have memoir and fiction stories. Do I have to start writing articles in order to get seen? I don't know how to get where the fiction reader interacts.
I would start posting them in order and always make sure to add links to previous chapters for new readers to go back and read from the beginning. As for where to find fiction readers, I would see if you can find any publications that publish fiction. Start by typing 'fiction' into the search bar and then look through related tags, writers, and publications to find one that looks suitable. I hope that helps! 🙂🙌
Thanks for the information! Is it a good strategy to share your articles on socials like LinkedIn, FB or Quora? Also, the medium partner program is yet to be launched in India, so should I follow the same or you can give any other tips Thankss
You're very welcome! And, totally. The only issues are: 1. Pay comes from internal views (so, if the viewers aren't Medium members, you won't earn anything from their views) 2. Read ratio is an important metric on Medium (so, if the viewers don't read for at least 30 seconds, it will negatively affect the story's performance) But, if your story is not behind a paywall and/or your viewers are Medium members, it can't hurt! 🙂🙌 And, the same goes for once India is added. Hopefully, it's soon. 🤞
Hey Hudson. Is there any way to join the partner program if your country is not is the payout list. If not is is possible to log into medium from two different countries? One in the US for payouts and one which I will operate?
I have heard of writers using VPNs to sign up but it's technically against Medium's terms of service. I haven't tried it myself but I know writers who have successfully signed up and receive payments from other countries. 🤔 With that said, I'll be filming a video on how to earn money without the Partner Program next. It should drop in the next few weeks. 🙂🙌
I am from India, and I want to apply for partner program but in the eligibility check list it is showing that I am located in a country that is not eligible for payouts, Pls Help !!
Unfortunately, Indian residents aren't eligible to join the Partner Program. 🥲 I know some writers use Stripe accounts from friends/family members in other countries, but if you can't, affiliate links are your next best option to earn money. 💰
Yes, to join the MPP you must be a paying member. If you don't want to pay, your next best option is to create a free account and then promote affiliate links. 🙂🙌
@@hudsonrenniewrites yeah haha. I got the subs now but my watch hours are going in reverse! I'm trying to pump out videos quicker but they don't seem to be hitting a big audience yet. Sooner or later I'll get there!

Here you go! 🙂👇

can yo use google ads and facebook ads to promote your medium account?
You can. Although, it probably wouldn't be worth the money you spend as readers have to be paying Medium members to read paywalled stories.
won’t get a pet because I cannot be trusted to take care of it - and I’m feeding the algorithm! ❤ 🎉 ❤
