Monetise Your Existing Medium Content: 1 Article 4 Uses

Does your writing earn you what you think it should?

If not, here are some ideas for turning your existing Medium articles into money-making machines.

Every idea is 100% free and will cost you nothing to set up.

Over the past three months, my medium views and article earnings have been in a tailspin. Income has dropped from $7–10+ per article to more like 70c — $1, and views have dropped from 300–500 to less than 100.

Rather than thinking this is the end of the world, I consider this an opportunity.

I have around 328 articles here on Medium. That’s a lot of content, and it would be a shame to waste it, so here are some of the things I am doing with the content I have created.

In this article, I’ve taken one article I published here and used it as the basis for three different “Projects” With a 4th to come next.

Create Mini Books (Free)

First, I’ve used some of the content I’ve published to create mini-books that I publish on Amazon.

Mini books are usually 7000–10,000 words, so you may be able to take a few articles and expand them and use them as chapters.
