How to Make Money Writing Online

Mistake #1 - Listening to the Wrong People

To be successful in life, look at the results of the person who is giving you advice.

A lot of new medium writers join Facebook groups and get advice from other new medium writers. 

These groups do more harm than good because most writers in the groups are inexperienced, which means they share faulty assumptions. Most of these groups are nothing more than places new writers can go to whine, complain, and lead their fellow writers astray.

If you work with me you’re getting advice on becoming successful on Medium from someone who:

I’ve spent 8 years learning how the platform works. Let someone with real experience and results guide you.

Mistake #2 No System for Success

Most writers fail because they don’t have a proven system for success:

✔️ They only write when they feel like it

✔️ When they do sit down to write, they just stare at a blank page and start typing or they don’t write anything at all

✔️ They randomly choose ideas to write about or struggle to come up with ideas at all

✔️ Successful writers use a system to create predictable and reliable success.

Here are the outcomes you’ll get with the system I teach in Medium Writing Superstars:

✔️ You’ll always be motivated to write and you’ll publish 2-4 articles per week with ease

✔️ You’ll have endless ideas for blog posts with viral potential

✔️ You’ll know exactly what to write, how to write it, as well as how to edit your work without getting stuck in perfectionism

Look what happens when you follow a system:

Mistake #3 Believing in Myths

Most new Medium writers hop on the platform and make a lot of assumptions based on a tiny amount of experience.

They believe things like:

👉 You can only make money writing on Medium by writing about Medium

👉 Or you have to write about self-improvement and making money

👉 Real art can’t thrive on Medium. You must write formulaic blog posts and listicles only

👉 You can’t make money on Medium & it’s a waste of time.

Lies, big lies.

I’ve had students make hundreds and even thousands of dollars from a single blog post writing about the following topics:

👉 Eating bananas

👉 Ejaculation control

👉 Dating advice

There are different pockets of Medium you can use to write about different topics, but new Medium writers either don’t know where to look or just don’t take the time to do it.

I created a bonus resource called the Publication Black Book that contains 50+ top publications with links that go straight to submissions page for each.

I break the list down based on niche and what experience level you should have before trying to join each publication. In the Medium Roadmap, I give you a strategy that shows you when to start joining top publications.

Once you solve these easy to fix problems and avoid making rookie mistakes, you get to experience all the amazing benefits of Medium.

Bonus # 1

Blog Post Blueprints

($497 Value)

The blog post blueprints are ‘plug and play’ templates you can use to write popular blog post 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.

Structuring your posts the right way increases their earning potential. I’ve used these blueprints to write posts that save made as much as $8,000.

Bonus # 2

Write Like Ayo

($497 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

($397 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

($2997 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. You get these monthly coaching calls for life. I could charge $2,997 for a year long monthly group coaching program. You get it for free.

Bonus # 5

The Publication Black Book

($497 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.

Getting into the right publications can be the difference between writing an article that makes pennies and one that makes hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Bonus # 6

The Headline Vault

($497 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. A great headline increases your earnings because you get people to read your blog posts instead of skipping past them.

Bonus # 7

The Medium Superstars Mastermind Group

($997 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. I charge $250 an hour for my personal time and if you stick with me long-term, you’ll get much more than four hours of my personal attention.
