Welcome! I'm Simon Owens and this is my media newsletter. You can subscribe by clicking on this handy little button: A Medium writer made $49k in September. Should we care? Medium does an interesting thing at the end of every month. It sends out an email that contains a few stats regarding the amount of money writers are generating through its partnership program. For the uninitiated, anyone can publish to Medium’s partnership program, and doing so places your work behind its metered paywall. In exchange, you get a cut of the company’s revenue, doled out based on the amount of engagement your content received.
Interesting analysis, thank you. I’ve had my eye off the Medium ball for a while now, so it’s interesting to see how it’s been evolving.
