Mistake #3 Believing in Myths
Most new Medium writers hop on the platform and make a lot of assumptions based on a tiny amount of experience.
They believe things like:
You can only make money writing on Medium by writing about Medium
Or you have to write about self-improvement and making money
Real art can’t thrive on Medium. You must write formulaic blog posts and listicles only
You can’t make money on Medium & it’s a waste of time.
Lies, big lies.
I’ve had students make hundreds and even thousands of dollars from a single blog post writing about the following topics:
Eating bananas
Ejaculation control
Dating advice
There are different pockets of Medium you can use to write about different topics, but new Medium writers either don’t know where to look or just don’t take the time to do it.
I created a bonus resource called the Publication Black Book that contains 50+ top publications with links that go straight to submissions page for each.
I break the list down based on niche and what experience level you should have before trying to join each publication. In the Medium Roadmap, I give you a strategy that shows you when to start joining top publications.
Once you solve these easy to fix problems and avoid making rookie mistakes, you get to experience all the amazing benefits of Medium.
