The Medium Manual: Your Technical Handbook

Did you know that:

• You can re-monetize your old stories?
• Make your profile attractive for your clients/readers?
• Or that you can close the discussion on your story?
• That you can unclap, unfollow, unhighlight?

Hi there!!

I am Lipika Sahu. Writer and 2XAuthor.

If the above list makes you uneasy, don't be. Trust me, I was also in the same boat when I started writing on Medium. Clueless.

Because exploring the workings of a new platform and mastering its layout are always challenging.

But not for you. At least on Medium.

Authored by someone who traversed the maze of Medium’s features firsthand, The Medium Manual's primary objective is to help you:

- understand the technical elements of the platform,
- familiarize yourself with how you can use them to boost your blog.

With abundant visual references over 134 pages, playing the Medium flute will be a child's play for you.

What will this book do for you?

1. Save oodles of time: You need not spend time figuring out things around here. Use that time to hone your writing skills instead.
2. Expedite Medium journey: Maximize the potential of Medium's features to propel your rapid growth on the platform (like ways to collaborate, etc.)
3. Increase earning capacity: Learn to open up extra avenues for earning by strategically utilizing the features offered by Medium (listing stories categorically, etc.)
4. Increased control: Choose the involvement level of your readers, decide the type of stories you want to read, and/or block unappealing people.

And what it will not do...

I don't want you to be disappointed; hence, I am setting the record straight. This book deals with the technical aspects of Medium. NOT writing. (well...I am writing a book on that, but that's for a later time.)

Is this book for you?

Yes, if you are someone who:

• Often stumbles upon some technical terminology on Medium and gets distracted from the critical part - writing.
• Doesn't want to learn everything on the go by hit and trial.
• Wants to start Medium writing fully prepared and abled.
• Wants to have an edge by engaging the empowering Medium features to their advantage.
• Wants to save time trying to decode the technical elements of the platform.

So, if you are serious about giving this powerful platform a chance to build a writing career, this book will aid you in demystifying everything for you so that you can focus on the more important aspects of writing online.
