110: How to Write for Better Humans on Medium (and earn $500 per story)

110: How to Write for Better Humans on Medium (and earn $500 per story)

Author: Michael Leonard: Copywriter & Freelance Writing Coach July 15, 2020 Duration: 17:12

In this Writing Wednesday episode, I show you how I got accepted into a top tier Medium publication - Better Humans. Not only is this is a super popular publication, but it's very difficult to get pieces accepted as they're very selective and require long posts (3,000+ words).

But, I submitted my first story - "How to Use Hypnosis to Transform Your Life" and got accepted. This is a VERY personal piece to me and helped share my journey through depression and anxiety using hypnotherapy.

Plus, I earned $500 for the piece which is more than most Medium stories earn. In this episode, you will learn:

  • How to submit to Better Humans
  • Why I hired an editor to help on Medium
  • Why vulnerability is a superpower as a writer
