Tipping — This Medium New Feature Can Make You Rich (Maybe)
Let alone Medium partner program
78% of the countries aren’t listed in the Medium partner program.
Thus, it’s really hard to make money on the platform. I do believe you can make money without the Medium partner program since I’ve written a post about How I Earned $401 On Medium Without Medium Partner Program.

In my words, tipping is a way in which you get paid by your followers AKA readers. A reader can support you to pay some bucks using the third-party payment method.

Tipping
Allow readers to send a tip by adding a link to your preferred payment platform, which will appear at the bottom of your stories. Popular platforms include Ko-Fi, Patreon, or Paypal — or link to an organization for readers to donate on your behalf.
Sounds cool?
