I published frequently, but I found it was not the best way to maximize earnings on Medium.
Hint: The answer is NOT publishing frequently

I have been actively writing on Medium for the past year. (I started writing online in 2007).
I joined the Medium partner program last month. So I have learned my lesson by trying all the possible approaches to publishing on Medium.
The first thing I noticed was a change in my views chart.
My views (actually my “reads”) reduced drastically. Because more than half of the readers are not paid members of Medium.
The two approaches.
- Quality (good quality long-form articles)
- Quantity (too many short-form articles)
If you want to frequently post, you need to choose short-form articles.
Short-form = quick opinion, less researched work, shallow insights.
