A Wishlist For Medium’s Future After the Last Bonus in July

Self-publishing, an updated Partner Program, pay, and comments

What I love about writing on Medium? Honestly, getting paid from day one is pretty high up there. Nowhere else — as far as I know — can you make money with writing this easily and quickly. A simple application to the Medium Partner Program, your first story, and boom… you’re good to go.

Even better? The bonus payments Medium has given out the last three months. These generous payments of up to 500$ have made many writers — including me — incredibly grateful to be sharing their stories on this platform. Bear in mind that the 500$ bonus in many cases exceeds the monthly earnings of the writers that got it. Again, I included.

But — as you and I know — all good things come to an end. Medium has already stated that July will be the last wave of bonus payments. At least for now. Medium, however, has also hinted at other opportunities for writers to be supported. While we still do not know what this means, I have compiled a small wishlist of things I could see as beneficial for this platform.
