How to: Get Started On Medium

If you are looking for an easy way to blog and you are a fan of minimalism you may want to give Medium a go. Getting started is easy, you can simply sign up to become a member and register for an account.

Once you have an account, make sure that you set it up correctly, by completing your profile, personalising your settings and customising your interests. You should also get signed up for the Medium Partnership Programme.

Once you have signed up and you are set up it is is important to start engaging. You can engage with the Medium community by reading other people’s posts and interacting with them by sharing and commenting on them. You can follow people to keep up to date with their content.

Then you need to start publishing your own content for others to read. Write and share your posts on Medium (you can share them with friends for free) for your area of expertise. Get in the habit of writing on a regular basis and continuing to read, write and engage to develop your exposure and expertise on the platform.
