For you Medium users out there, can you tell me which is the best membership to subscribe to? If I am going to try to drive traffic through Medium, do I need the option to shar

Hi BeadCatz,

When deciding on a Medium membership, it’s important to consider how you plan to use the platform and what features are most relevant to your goals. Here’s a breakdown of the membership options and their benefits:

1. Medium Free Membership:
- Features: Allows you to read and write stories, follow other
users, and engage with content. However, you might have
limited access to member-only stories and features.
- Best For: Casual users or those who want to explore the
platform without any commitment.

2. Medium Membership (Paid):
- Features: Includes access to all member-only stories, offline
reading, and an ad-free experience. It also supports writers
through the Partner Program, where you can potentially
earn money based on reader engagement.
- Best For: If you’re looking to drive traffic and have full access
to all content on Medium, the paid membership is beneficial.
It also provides a better reading experience and supports the
writers you follow.

3 . Medium Partner Program:
- Features: If you plan to publish and potentially earn from
your Medium content, consider joining the Partner Program.
It allows you to monetize your stories based on how much
engagement they receive from Medium members.
- Best For: Writers looking to earn revenue from their content
and engage with a larger audience.

If you’re driving traffic to Medium and want to share your content with a broader audience, the paid membership might be worth the investment. It ensures you can access and share all types of stories, including member-only content, which could be valuable for engaging with a wider audience.

Ultimately, the choice depends on how you plan to use Medium and what features are most important for your goals. If you’re focusing on publishing and driving traffic, investing in the paid membership and Partner Program could be beneficial.

I hope this helps you decide which membership is best for you. Let me know if you have any more questions!

Best regards,
Arisara

I am happy with the $5 a month membership. I paid the annual at $40 and in first month earned over $20. For me it can easily pay for itself and actually earn money also.

It really depends on how you hope to utilize it. You'll find more info here.

You also cannot use AI content.

Abie

Thanks, Abie. I checked that page out before asking my question, but it didn't give any ideas as to what the added benefits would be to the higher level, so I asked here to see what other users like.

Okay! Thanks for the update.

You can also use these resources.

These are some great sites I am going to bookmark to read later. Now I need to know the best membership for driving traffic.

Thanks for the links, I look forward to going through them when I get a chance. They look great.

No problem, Nancy! Please keep us updated on your progress.

When I read a post that contains informative information that I will use, I like to add it to my favorites for future reference. However, I have not found a way to organize the

Tag your Favourites appropriately, and when you view them (under the search icon at the top), they will be organized by their tags. :)

Is there a way to organize those alphabetically? I have most of them tagged but I could not figure out how to arrange those in some type of order, like alphabetically.

Nancy

I have them under tags, and there are plenty.

(clicking the star icon and tagging appropriately)

Abie

I have the majority under tags, but being the retentive person I am, I hate that they are not in alphabetical order :-)

Nancy

The same here :)

Now, I have a second YouTuber question.

I won't get in front of a camera to make a video. I can use my voice, but no video. Are there any programs you recommend for addi

Have you watched Vitaliy's short?

No, I don't want to get over my shyness or don't plan to. I am really stubborn in this area LOL.

Nancy

But why not? The opportunities could be ample

Reasons I won't talk about right now. Who knows, "maybe" some day, but that is in the far distant future (key Star Wars music.)

ChatGPT+ Dall-E and or Canva are your best options.

I am unsure how to accomplish what I want with those programs. Chat could right the script but Iam not sure about it turning the script into an actual video.

Nancy

I suggest you use Canva.

I will check into it, but I don't think Canva will do what I want.

Nancy

Hi Nancy

Check out Invideo:

Frank 🎸

That's an outstanding share, Frank! :)

Abie

Thanks, Abie! 😃

Have an excellent day! ✨
Frank 🎸

You are welcome, Frank!

Abie

Woohoo, Frank, this platform is awesome. I have to explore some more but they have a free package with 10 minutes for me to check it out. This is what I was looking for. I think we will keep you around for a while. You are very useful. 🤩🥳🤩🥳🤩🥳🤩🥳

Nancy

And I forgot to mention, it is really affordable.

Nancy

Hahaha, Thanks, Nancy!

If you ever need some guitar lessons, let me know. Lol 😎

Frank 🎸

Outstanding! 👍👍

:)

Lol 😂

I have always played around with guitars but never actually learned "how" to play them. The violin and some piano has always been my go to instruments.

Nancy

Those are all great instruments, Nancy!

I played the violin in fourth grade. As a fretless string instrument it really helped train my ear.

I have also played a little piano here and there, which is an excellent compositional tool due to its range and because all the notes are laid out linearly without enharmonic equivalents. It allows you to simultaneously play harmony with one hand and melody with the other.

My parents played a variety of instruments, so we grew up with a guitar, piano, ukulele, banjo, recorder, clarinet, and accordion in the house. We considered them our play toys. Lol

When we weren’t playing music we had the record player or radio on. They had an amazing record collection! Classical, jazz, all the big-band stuff, blues, country, you name it!

I entered college as a music student, back in the 1970s, but somehow ended up with a ton of “science” degrees. Go figure? 🤷‍♂️ Lol

We never really know which direction life will take us, but it’s certainly been an interesting and gratifying ride! 😎

You need to create a channel and do it professionally :)

You don’t have to open one for each site if you have more than one, but keep your personal account separate.

I think I will open a separate one for my niche sites. I wanted to see what everyone preferred.

Nancy

Separate your personal account from any business (niche) account.

Thanks. I thought that would be the best route to take.

Nancy

I started a you tube channel today and its similar to my niche that I have been working on. So a after I get that going hopefully correct Id like to at the end of the videos say or have my site wrote down. Hoping that you tube people can type in my other website and maybe the two sites can interact helping both sites. Depends if your other site is similar topic or if you want them to interact with each other. It may be helpful. I'm still looking into that and some have told me it may help the other site.

That is a good point. However, I think I want each site to stand on its own regarding YouTube. I want the people visiting YouTube to find their way to my website and visa versa.

This as a good thought to consider.

Nancy

I saved the youtube channel, haven't uploaded anything but I would definately suggest stand alone (create your niche Gmail account) 😊👍

That is what I decided to do. Thanks for leaving your vote to help me consider this.

Nancy

Hello! I started my you tube and what a night this is for me. There is a lot to you tube but its one of those things that you learn as you go. I did get something that says my other web site on you tube already and it looks like it is linked It could be my e mail that is the same as you tube. So it looks like its connected or linked already.

Hi Nancy

I would create a separate YouTube channel in your account for each website.

Frank 🎸

That is what I was thinking, Frank. I don't like mixing business and personal, if at all possible. I wanted to see what everyone else suggested.

Nancy

Sounds good, Nancy. 😎
