Has Medium changed so that people are only getting pennies for their articles? I wanted to try Medium as well as Substack, but when I read that, I thought I had missed the boat.

Hi Rose, you can absolutely still earn money on Medium! I see it firsthand with my tribe members—generating meaningful income there is very much possible. The key is creating high-quality content and understanding how to leverage Medium’s Partner Program. For this we have masterminds inside the Club or the Medium Bootcamp. Inside the Club as an annual member, you also get access to Medium School. A course about how to start on Substack.
What I love about Substack is the recurring income potential from paid subscriptions, which provides more stability over time. That’s why I always recommend writing on both platforms. Medium is great for gaining exposure, reaching a broader audience, and earning based on reads, while Substack is perfect for building a loyal community and earning predictable, recurring revenue.
You haven’t missed the boat—both platforms are thriving, but success depends on consistent effort and finding your unique voice. Hope this helps.
