Jak zarabiać na pisaniu na Medium.com (Kompletny przewodnik)
Jeśli kiedykolwiek zastanawiałeś się, jak zamienić swoje pisanie w prawdziwy dochód, Medium może być najprostszym miejscem na początek — ale to nie tylko pisanie opowiadań.
Piszę na Medium od 2019 roku, a po niedawnym urlopie naukowym podczas budowania mojego newslettera Substack, poświęciłem czas analizie, jak pisarze naprawdę zarabiają tutaj. Niezależnie od tego, czy jesteś początkujący, czy już znasz Medium, ten pełny przewodnik wyjaśnia wszystko — od strategii publikowania i najlepszych tematów po 3 sprawdzone sposoby na zarobienie pierwszych 1000 dolarów (nawet jeśli nie możesz dołączyć do Programu Partnerskiego). Zanurzmy się w temat.
📌 Dlaczego medium to mądry punkt wyjścia dla pisarzy
Medium oferuje rzadkie połączenie wbudowanego ruchu, czystego doświadczenia pisarskiego oraz Medium Partner Program (MPP) — który wypłaca Ci pieniądze w zależności od tego, jak długo płacący członkowie czytają twoje opowiadania.
It sounds easy on paper. But succeeding on Medium requires intentional strategy, not just great content.
✍️ How Often Should You Post on Medium?
There are two winning strategies on Medium:
- Quality over Quantity: Write 1–2 in-depth stories per week. Works best for niches like health, wellness, or personal development where read time is high.
- Quantity over Quality: Write 3–5 short, snackable posts per week in trending niches like productivity or money tips. This increases your chances of going viral.
Tip: Choose a rhythm you can stick to consistently. As a beginner, aim for 1–3 posts per week depending on your available time.
🧠 What Are the Best Topics to Write About on Medium?
According to reader data, Medium’s audience is mostly 24–35-year-old U.S. readers interested in:
- Tech, programming, and software
- Writing, freelancing, and productivity
- Health, wealth, and relationships (universal appeal topics)
💡 Hot Money-Making Topics on Medium:
- How to Make Money Writing
- Productivity & Life Hacks
- Personal Finance Tips
- Digital Minimalism
- Career & Freelancing
Even better: Many paying Medium readers are writers themselves, so writing about writing is a smart move.
📢 Why Submitting to Publications Is a Game-Changer
Want more exposure? Don’t just publish under your own name — submit to Medium publications. These outlets already have followers, which means more views for your story.
Top publications to pitch:
- Better Humans
- Start It Up
- Mind Cafe
- The Writing Cooperative
This can 10x your reach, especially if you’re new.
💰 How to Earn Your First $1,000 on Medium
Here are 3 proven strategies top writers use to earn money with Medium:
1. Earn Through the Medium Partner Program Alone
Yes, it’s still possible to make $1,000/month just from MPP. Here’s how:
- Write long-form content with high read time.
- Target trending, search-friendly topics.
- Submit to publications for maximum exposure.
- Post consistently (1–2x weekly).
💡 Pro Tip: Check out other high earners like Zulie Rane or Tim Denning to see what’s working.
2. Use Medium as a Funnel for Your Business
Writers like Eve Arnold publish frequent, short posts on productivity and funnel readers to their:
- Newsletter
- Online Courses
- Digital Products
Even if Medium itself pays little, the traffic boost builds a profitable writing business.
3. Affiliate Marketing on Medium (Without the Partner Program)
Can’t join MPP? No problem. Follow the strategy of Arturi Jali, who:
- Writes product reviews and tutorials (mostly AI tools)
- Adds affiliate links
- Ranks stories via organic search
He’s earning affiliate commissions even from posts with low engagement.
Anyone can do this. All you need is:
- A free Medium account
- SEO-optimized content
- Relevant affiliate programs
📣 Build an Email List (Your Most Valuable Asset)
The #1 thing you can do as a writer: Start an email list.
Use Medium to:
- Build an audience
- Offer a lead magnet (free PDF, tips, etc.)
- Drive readers to your newsletter (like Substack or ConvertKit)
Start as soon as you hit 1,000 followers — or earlier if you’re serious.
🎯 Final Takeaways
To recap:
- ✅ Post weekly — short articles often, or long ones less often
- ✅ Choose topics with built-in demand: writing, money, productivity
- ✅ Use publications to gain traction
- ✅ Leverage external income (newsletters, products, affiliate links)
- ✅ Build an email list from day one
