Medium has some exciting news for writers in a dozen countries around the world. The popular online publishing platform recently announced that its Medium Partner Program will launch in India, Brazil, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Gibraltar, Hungary, Liechtenstein, Malaysia, Malta, Thailand, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on August 1st, 2023.

Additionally, they plan to expand the program to 50 more countries by the end of the year.

Currently, enrollment in the Partner Program is only available in the following countries:

Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States

What is the Medium Partner Program?

The Medium Partner Program allows writers to monetize their stories on Medium by earning money when readers subscribe to their content. Once accepted into the program, writers can earn up to 50% of the revenue from user subscriptions initiated via their stories. It provides an opportunity for writers to earn steady income doing what they love.

Why is this launch significant?

Medium is going to expand its Partner Program from existing 33 countries to 45 countries on August 1st. It’ll open up new possibilities for writers to profit from their work. For many talented writers in these emerging markets, monetizing written content has been a challenge. This presents a way for them to get paid for their articles and posts that resonate with readers.

Additionally, Medium’s plan to expand the program to 50 more countries by end of 2023 will provide this monetization opportunity to countless more international writers.

How can writers apply for the Partner Program?

Writers located in any of the 12 countries (as mentioned above) can apply starting August 1st by filling out the application form on Medium. The full criteria to qualify are:

- You must be located in one of the eligible countries

- Have at least 100 followers on Medium

- Have published atleast 1 story with a meaningful number of views, recommends, and comments

- Publish high-quality, original stories that comply with Medium’s rules and guidelines

Why this is an exciting opportunity

For writers in these additional 12 countries, Medium’s Partner Program presents a great way to earn income from their writing skills and grow their readership at the same time beginning August 1st.

As Medium expands the program to 50 more countries by end of 2023, millions more international writers will have the chance to turn their passion into a profitable profession. This launch marks an important milestone in empowering writers from different corners of the world to share their ideas, perspectives, and stories — while getting compensated for their work.

I am super excited for this partnership with medium.

Best of luck to all the writers.

Happy writing.

Cheers.
