Writing for Medium

I've recently started writing for an online publisher called Medium. They host both free content as well as paid content, and as a writer, you can write for both. You can also submit articles to Medium publications (ezines, essentially) and be paid if your article is accepted. 

Right now, I'm only publishing free content. In order to write paid content, you have to have at least 100 followers. 

I don't expect anyone to sign up for a premium subscription. But you can create a Medium account for free and follow writers. You can read as many free articles as you want; there's a monthly limit on the premium articles if you don't have a subscription. 

So I would appreciate it if you'd create a free account at Medium and then follow me. You can also choose to get emailed whenever I post a new article, if you want. Here's a link to my page. When you go to that page, you'll see a red button to follow me, and a red button with an envelope on it that will let you get notified by email when I publish. When you hit the follow button, it'll prompt you to create a free account.  

After that, if you never read anything I write, or ever visit Medium again, you will still have done me a favor. You'd do me even more of a favor if you actually read the articles I publish and hit the "clap" button at the bottom of them (you can actually hit it multiple times, unlike normal "like" buttons). That applause button is one of the ways their algorithms determine your engagement with your readers. And that ultimately plays into getting your stuff publicized on the site, as well as, eventually, how much you get paid. 

So anyway, go to my page, click the follow button, create a free account and follow me, sign up for an email subscription if you want, then read my articles and applaud them when you're done. 

Or, don't do any of those things. But it would be a big help if you did.
