Medium adds SA to
writer payments

The writing platform has opened up earning opportunities for writers in 75 new countries, including India, South Africa and Turkey.

Medium, a global platform for reading and writing, has opened up Partner Program eligibility to writers in over 75 new countries, including South Africa. Medium’s Partner Program allows writers to earn money for the stories they publish based on engagement and activity from Medium members. Including every country Stripe supports, now writers in over 115 countries around the world can earn when members read, listen, and engage with their stories.

“At Medium, we believe there are great stories everywhere,” said CEO Tony Stubblebine. “We are trying to build a better internet because we want to be a home for perspectives from as diverse a set of countries, demographics, cultures, and lived experiences as we can. In expanding our Partner Program, we hope these new voices will help deepen our collective understanding of the world through their writing.”

As a platform with no ads, Medium is fully supported over one million members. Becoming a member on Medium provides full access to Medium while funding great writers as a part of a community that cares about high-quality storytelling.

Other changes to Medium’s Partner Program include:

  • Expanding Medium’s Boost Nominator Pilot Program to include more editors with diverse expertise, cultures, and backgrounds from all Partner Program countries. You can learn more about the program here.
  • An updated Partner Program dashboard with revamped features that show earning history, tax withholding, and Stripe account fees. Writers can also monitor payout history and rollover balance, see a breakdown of monthly and lifetime story earnings, and update payout settings all in one place.

For those interested in becoming members of Medium, memberships are 20% off for a limited time.
