It’s been a long time since I’m not using Medium anymore. And come on, I mean now it’s 2024! I wonder about their updates, especially the partner program. So I decided to open it up again.
I signed up and became a member of this platform in 2021 when I started my freelance career. But since I was busy with freelancing work and thinking that there was no money I could earn here, I left.
I read an article from a writer saying that the partner program is now eligible for Indonesia, but it turned out to be a hoax. Only on August 6, 2024, I found an article by Elvina Fan published in The Medium Blog titled “We’ve added 77 countries to the Medium Partner Program”. Finally, it is now eligible for Indonesia. Yay…!!!
Medium is a mind-shift platform where I learn many things from writers. But the most interesting thing about this platform is you can earn money from the article you write by joining the Medium Partner Program (MPP). Of course, after you become a member of Medium.
Eligible Countries for Medium Partner Program (MPP)
Before, Medium supported 42 countries which are mostly English-speaking countries. Now that they added 77 more countries, bringing the eligible country for MPP to 119 countries.
Check the list below to see whether your country is on the list or not!
Albania, Algeria, Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belgium, Benin, Bhutan, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Brunei, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Côte d’Ivoire, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Estonia, Ethiopia, Finland, France, Gabon, Gambia, Germany, Ghana, Gibraltar, Greece, Guatemala, Guyana, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kuwait, Laos, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macao, Madagascar, Malaysia, Malta, Mauritius, Mexico, Moldova, Monaco, Mongolia, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Niger, Nigeria, North Macedonia, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Rwanda, Saint Lucia, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Tanzania, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam
There are so many writers waiting for this moment, especially from India. India as the most populated country has so many English speakers. I can see lots of Indian writers are so excited about MPP. Congrats guys! You are free to go.
What to Do to Join MPP
If you are new here, create your account first and become a member. A Medium membership will cost you $5 per month and $50 if you pay per year. I prefer a yearly membership because it’s cheaper. But, if you are not sure yet, try out for one or two months to see if Medium membership is worth enough.
After creating an account and activating your membership, tap your picture on the top right side of the page. Click on the partner program.
If your country is eligible, then you can apply. It needs your personal information and Stripe account where the payment will be made to you after the $10 threshold.
I was stuck for a moment now about how to set up my Stripe account since there are no options for Indonesia yet. Until now, Indonesians can’t activate their Stripe accounts with businesses based in Indonesia. There is no option for that.
For now, Stripe is available in Indonesia as an invite-only program. It’s like they are waiting for more users to sign up or other setups. However, if you are from Indonesia and an active writer on Medium, Sign up at https://stripe.com/global now. It will add more demand to Stripe and hopefully, Stripe can open their service for Indonesia sooner.
Don’t set the main menu aside
Starting a new path on Medium could be miserable. And so when you first come into writing.
Many people started their journey on Medium. What they’ve achieved feels like gold to us who want to start writing here. That’s when you can become delusional shortly after. You feel like, “I want to be like that guy with seven figures,” or “I can also be a top writer like him.” You are burned and motivated, ready to put your fullest energy into it.
You may succeed in writing your first article. But what about your 10th article, 50th, 100th? Will you still have the same excitement? Excitement comes and leaves fast to us, writing takes time.
Your strategy will not always work as you plan. You will make changes all the way around. But, always remember to write what the h3ll you want. So, write now!
