What is Medium?
Medium is an online platform, where you can read as well as upload your articles, and earn money based on the time the readers spend on your article. For every article that you submit, Medium pays you on the time spent in reading your article. At the end of every month, Medium pays its contributors 50% of the profit and on top of that, you get a daily update regarding your earnings!
However, there are only 36 countries where Medium can share their revenue. That is because they use Stripe as the payment method and unfortunately Stripe pays to only 36 countries as of now. But they are daily making progress. If you want to know which are these 36 countries, click on the link Medium is a non-exclusive platform in simple language this means that you can add the same post which you have written for your website. But, don't just copy-paste the article. Try to build up a story and an interesting one. which people would be curious about reading so that they make it till the end.
Now coming back to Medium, Medium allows you to read only 5 posts a month. Once you have read the 5 posts, you will receive a notification saying that you have already viewed 5 articles for the month.
In case you are just a voracious reader and lusty towards growing your knowledge, you can join Medium at just $5 per month and this particular amount from your end is equally distributed amongst all the contributors and is been shared in your Paypal account.

However, just for staying updated if you ask me which one is my favourite? I would say I love Social Media Examiner. That is because the articles are long and are detailed about a particular topic.
