107: How to Get Featured in Medium Publications as a New Writer

Author: Michael Leonard: Copywriter & Freelance Writing Coach July 8, 2020 Duration: 22:15

Have you started writing on Medium.com yet?

Recently, I've had a lot of students inside my course, Freelance to 5K, ask me about Medium lately and I wanted to share some of that with you.

First off, Medium is a great platform for writers.

I love it and HIGHLY suggest it for all my coaching and course students.

It's clean, easy to read, and you get started today.

But if you're a brand new Medium writer, it's hard to navigate the platform and figure out how to:

  • Get your content read
  • Learn what to write about 
  • How to get featured in publications

And a lot more.

But in the latest episode of Inspire Your Success, I'll help you with one of those hurdles -- getting featured in publications.

To find success quickly like I did with Medium you HAVE to become a writer in publications.

Otherwise, the odds of making consistent money as a Medium writer are slim (or will take a long time).

Because if you don't publish in publications, you're relying on your own followers to read the story. 

And if you're brand new, you don't have any (or have >100).

But not all publications are the same, some are extremely difficult to get featured in while others are much more accessible to new writers.

When you listen to the latest episode, you will hear:

  • More about publications 
  • How to get featured in publications
  • My 5 favorite Medium publications for new writers 

And a lot more.
