Member-only story
A Special Thanks To Those Of You Who Have Used My Medium Referral Link
I really appreciate the support!
A few months ago when Medium announced that writers would be able to earn money through membership referrals, I didn’t think much about it. Earning opportunities always come and go, and I thought it would be in my best interest to focus on content.
I shared the link exactly one time on Facebook and then forgot about it.
However, I’ve been pleasantly surprised to discover that several people have signed up for Medium through my referral link. This has resulted in an additional payment to what I get for being a member of the creator fellowship.
Also, I’ve been amazed to discover that this payment is recurring! I’ll continue to get a portion of your membership fee for as long as you are a Medium member! Medium was clear about that when they launched the program, of course, but in a holdover from my grade school days I just can’t make myself pay attention when anyone announces anything.
Writing is one of those occupations where you’re always faced with uncertainty. Sometimes you have a really solid month, other times you just can’t seem to get anything to take off. Opportunities come and go, but the bills always remain.
