7 Incredible Features I Truly Love About Medium
And it makes me so happy all the time
There are seven things I love most about Medium.
I’ve been on this platform for more than three months to date. And throughout this journey, I’ve experienced so many things and discovered too many hacks about Medium.
So, here are the seven loveable things about this platform.
#1: 50 Times Clap
Do you know this?
You can clap a post 50 times.
LinkedIn doesn't allow you to clap a post more than one time. Twitter doesn't allow you to like a post more than one time. But medium does, It allows you to clap a post 50 times.
This makes me so happy that Medium has such a feature. And FYI this helps Medium algorithm to serve the content to more and more people.
Thanks, Medium.
#2: Best For Beginners With Simple Interface
Medium is a social blogging platform.
A writer who never tried online writing and doesn’t want to face the struggle of the domain, SSL, and hosting type of stuff. Medium is for you.
You don't have to be a technical or SEO master in order to write on the platform. And I highly recommend anyone who has just started out their writing journey should start from Medium.
Medium is good for beginners.
The interface is easy, writing is so easy, no tough formatting, no clutters of colors, so simple with some simple formatting like bold and italic. This makes Medium a great writing website because every writer wants an easy-to-use and smooth interface.
Medium is one of the best writing platforms.
#3: I love The Medium Community
When it comes to building community, Medium comes to my mind.
There are so many amazing and insightful people I've ever met online with the help of Medium. I made, and make so many great connections with like-minded people, and trust me they are very helpful.
I’ve no words. Period.
#4: Make Bucks ($$) Directly
You might know this.
You can earn money on the platform directly, once you hit the 100 followers you can join the Medium partner program.
Although in the beginning, you won’t earn too much money, but whatever you will earn, give you the motivation to work. Also, don't forget Medium partner program is not available in all countries, but soon it will launch. (I hope so)
#5: Build An Incredible Writing Portfolio
When you write on the platform, you build the content of the library.
This is actually the online resume that helps you to grab the opportunity that knocks on your door. Your Medium profile is the portfolio of your work, and whenever someone asks you for your work, you can send them your Medium profile link.
This is cool.
#6: Build Email List While Sleeping
Another good thing about Medium is, it allows you to collect the emails of your readers/followers.
Anyone can subscribe to your Medium account to get the future posts directly to their inbox without opening the Medium. Also, you can send them a thank you email letting them know that you will use their email to send them tips and strategies on a daily or weekly basis. (don’t do this without their permission)
This is also one of the cool features of Medium that I loved most.
