Do people make much of a revenue from posting their articles on Medium? I don't get the appeal if you want to "share" a story but actually a good part of your potential readership either can't read it, or hate Medium enough that they won't even open the link.

Just seems simpler to post on a Gist or anywhere really. But maybe I'm missing something and people are actually earning some money from posting on Medium.

From article:

> Two months later (and after generating ~$3000 with my paid blogposts), my publication was generating an estimated 30 000 views per months.

I understood that to mean his paid blog posts for that company that hired him, not medium.

You can. Especially from those already paying up for medium and don’t have the paywall. That’s the audience you use medium to reach.

A good part of the potential audience does read the article and does not hate medium. Otherwise, their business would have crashed and burned long ago. This is market validation.

This is the blind spot people are talking about. That’s why market validation with minimal effort pays off so much. Stop just assuming, start testing your assumptions.
