Writing on Medium isn’t hard. Writing well on Medium is a different story. Writing well and making money? That’s pretty difficult.
Enter Medium Masterminds.
This is my free Medium newsletter, delivered straight to your inbox, completely free. No catch.
With actionable, real-world insights about how to get traction on Medium and make the best of it.
I write 3–5 Medium stories every week. Some flop. Some surprise me. Some pay my rent. And every time, I learn something new, something you may not hear anywhere else.
What’s Inside?
Tips and tricks. Little-known Medium features. Tips that can save you hours.
Routine breakdowns. Ever wondered how people pump out so much content? I’ll show you how I plan, write, edit, and hit publish.
Lessons I wish I’d learned earlier. What works. What flops. What looks good on Medium but is a waste of your time.
The occasional freebie or deal. Everyone likes a good deal.
100% Free.
Medium Masterminds costs you exactly zero dollars. When you sign up, just type a 0 in the “Name a fair price” box on Gumroad and hit Subscribe. That’s it.
Of course, if you ever feel like this newsletter is worth a coffee, you can either put a price in the box and subscribe for a few bucks from the get-go. Or buy ma a black coffee here.
Why Gumroad?
My newsletter is hosted on Gumroad.
And I know Gumroad isn’t exactly the first place you’d expect a newsletter to live.
But it has some unique upsides that other (free) platforms don’t have. I wrote more about that here.
In Short: Gumroad lets me run automated emails and offer memberships without the headache of maintaining three different tools. Two birds. One stone.
Wait, There’s More
Well, since you’re here, if you like Medium Masterminds, you might also enjoy my other newsletter: Letters by Burk.
That is hosted on Substack.
Over there, I talk about online writing in general, email marketing, useful tools, and other creative rabbit holes I stumble down when I should probably be working.
Also free.
