The Moment When My Entire Life Changed... 

“Oh my GOD!!!! MY STORY WENT VIRAL!!!! WOW!!!!”

Jamie Varon, a popular writer from thoughtcatalog.com, a site I used to write for, was going on and on about this site called Medium.

She posted a story there and it was doing ridiculous numbers. 

“Hm…” I thought to myself.

By that point, I’d learned how to spot and take advantage of opportunities. I figured, at minimum, Medium could be another website I added to my list of sites I used to cobble together bits and pieces of traffic.

So I decided to give the website a try.

I posted an article on the website, waited a day, and then checked my stats. 

Zero, zilch, nada. Nobody read my post. 

I tried again. A handful of people read my post, but nowhere near the same amount of views I got from other sites. Not even close. Not in the same universe.

So, like a bunch of Medium newbies do, I got butthurt about it and quit.

Actually, I didn’t quit Medium. I just quit posting on Medium. There were still a bunch of cool articles on the website, so I was on the site almost every day reading stories from writers I looked up to.

Eventually, I got tired of sitting on the sidelines.

I dusted myself off and tried again. I spent countless hours on the website trying to figure out how to succeed. I studied the top writers. I looked at how they wrote their articles, where they posted them, and how they promoted them.

I eventually learned about publications, these independently owned mini-magazines on Medium. I got accepted to a top publication. After that, it was off to the races.

My traffic started to grow very fast. I got accepted into more publications. The traffic I got from Medium was more than all of the other websites I posted on combined.

It became pretty clear to me that this was the platform for me. So, like a poker player with a royal flush on the board, I pushed all of my chips in.

I stopped posting on other websites altogether. 

At the time, the Medium Partner Program didn’t exist, but I was getting a bunch of traffic and email subscribers, so I figured this next time around I could monetize more easily because my audience got bigger.

Then, it happened.

That’s what the program covers. Let’s talk about why Medium is the best platform to make money writing and how it can change your life.

Medium is a Traffic Machine

If you want to build a business from your writing, you need traffic, which is a fancy way of saying you need more people to read your work.

When people read and enjoy your work, you can ask them to join your email list. When you build an email list you can:

• Send your audience links to new articles and grow your Medium profile
• Create products and sell them to your audience
• Have an audience you can take with you anywhere for the rest of your writing career

For long-term success, you’ll want to build an email list that you can use to create additional income streams and help grow your influence online. 

Medium helps you get traffic much more easily than you would with any other method. I keep a personal blog, but my Medium blog still gets much more traffic to this day.

With Medium, Opportunities Come to You

Instead of begging and groveling on Fivver to get $25 writing gigs, I get paid $500+ per article whenever I do a freelance job.

Even better, these opportunities came to me. 

That’s right, people reach out to me and ask if they can pay me to write for them. 

hey found my work on Medium, saw the quality of my writing, and reached out because they didn’t have to guess whether or not I was a good writer.

Back in the day, I’d kill to write for big publications like Business Insider. In fact, I tried and failed to do so. Years later, these publications found my work on Medium and asked to syndicate it. 

I’ve had several writer friends land book deals because publishers found them on Medium. 

Medium is a showcase for writers to flex their skills. People searching for talent visit Medium to find writers. Makes sense, right? It’s one of the top websites in the world filled with writing talent. 

If you were looking for a top writer to do a job for you, where would you go?

Being successful on Medium is like a digital business card.

Students in the program have landed podcast interviews, freelance gigs, affiliate deals, and more!

The Most Underrated Benefit of Them All

I saved one of the biggest and most underrated benefits of Medium for last. You get to meet other like-minded writers. 

I know pretty much all of the top writers on Medium. 

We share trade secrets with eachother. We promote each other’s products and share our audiences. We endorse each other. We share opportunities to make money with each other. 

Instead of competing with one another, we collaborate. 

When you join Medium Writing Superstars and do the work, you become part of my network. 

When one of my top students, Niharikaa, asked me to share her e-book with my email list of 35,000+ people, I was glad to because I knew her work was quality because I taught her how to write.

On top of making her investment back in the program through earning money writing on Medium, she’s continued to earn by building a relationship with me. 

She’s made money as an affiliate of this program. My fans have signed up to her email list and joined her paid programs.

Think bigger.

This is much more than just a writing course.

Nobody wants to ‘take a course.’ They want the results the program provides.

Let’s take a look at some of the outcomes you can expect from joining Medium Writing Superstars:

• You’ll make more money working with me than you would on your own
• You’ll publish your work in front of people who actually want to read it
• You’ll stay the course instead of burning out and quitting because you don’t know how to succeed on Medium
• Your confidence as a writer will skyrocket because you have money in your pocket and people who are eager to read your work
• You’ll have a body of work you can be proud of
• Opporunities you didn’t expect to happen will come your way
• If you stick with the process long enough, you’ll write a viral article that will shift the trajectory of your career
• Readers and others writers will look up to you as an expert, someone credible, maybe even an influencer
• You’ll create a network without doing any cheesy or gimmicky networking
• You’ll be able to build a true writing business that can make you six-figures (or more) down the road

Honestly, though, the biggest benefit of all is simple:

You’ll actually feel like a real writer.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve had these ideas dancing around in your head for some time. Getting them out of your head and onto the page changes everything.

It makes you feel like you matter, like you’re finally fulfilling your purpose on this planet. It feels good to make an impact.

It feels good to read comments from readers saying you changed their lives, made them laugh, made them cry, brought them joy, inspired them, made them think, helped lift some of the darkness from their life, or changed the way the view the world.

I’ve been able to create quite the ripple effect with my work and I want you to continue that tradition. If you do the work, listen, and stay the course, you can do more than just make a few bucks writing on Medium.

You can become a household name on Medium and have hundreds or thousands pouring into your account in as little as 90 days.

Bonus # 1 - Blog Post Blueprints ($97 Value)

The blog post blueprints are ‘plug and play’ templates you can use to write popular blog posts styles that Medium audiences love to read. 

Each blueprint will contain an overview of how the blog post style works, an outline you can use to create each style of posts, and examples from top Medium writers you can study as guidelines.

Bonus # 2 - Write Like Ayo ($197 Value)

If you’ve ever wanted to get inside of my head and learn the thinking behind my popular articles, this is the resource for you. 

The course contains several writing techniques you can use to make your articles more persuasive. 

On top of teaching you the lessons, I show you how I implement each strategy by highlighting how I do it in my own articles.

You’ll get to see Google documents with comments and editorial feedback explaining why I choose to use certain techniques, word choice, sentence structure, and more in my articles. 

Bonus #3 The Template Library ($97 Value)

The program comes with downloadable step by step templates you can use to implement the Medium strategies including things like audience research, topic generation, mindset strategies, and more. 

Bonus #4  The Medium Mastermind Calls ($197 Value)

On these calls, you’ll be updated on Medium’s evolving changes and guidelines. I will talk about the technique I see working well both from myself and other top writers on the platform. 

I’ll do live ‘teardowns’ and critique the work of individual writers on the call to give everyone useful advice and feedback.

We’ll have live Q&A sessions at the end of each call.

Bonus # 5 -The Publication Black Book ($97 Value)

I’ve taken the time to compile a list of the best publications to feature your work, broken down by category as well as ‘difficulty level’ grades to let you know if you’re ready to pitch them

Bonus # 6 - The Headline Vault ($97 Value)

The headline vault will include 100+ examples of headline styles you can use for your articles. 

The goal isn’t to use these specific headline formats forever, but to teach you how to come up with killer headlines so you can write unique headlines on your own.

Consider these the training wheels you need before you’re ready to ride on your own.

Bonus # 7 - The Medium Superstars Mastermind Group ($97 Value)

Support and accountability from your fellow writers can help you stay the course, give you useful ideas/feedback, and give you a sense of community by being able to interact with like-minded people.

The group will include areas for providing feedback, promoting each others work, and discussing what’s working so that we can all succeed.

I’ll also be heavily involved in this group, providing additional guidance.

This course comes with a 30 day, no questions asked, money back guarantee. I won’t ask you to ‘provide you’ve done the work’ to get a refund or make you jump through a bunch of hoops. 

Theoretically, you could take the entire course from start to finish, absorb all the information, and still ask for a refund. 

I like making money and I’m a businessman, but I don’t need to hold onto your cash if this isn’t a good fit for both of us.

Life is too short to hassle over such amounts. Most course pages will tell you that it’s ‘risk free’ to try their course. With me? It’s risk free. No hard sell here, just make the right decision for you.
