“The Medium Story — The Ultimate Guide to the Medium Publishing Platform”
New e-book now available
Ultimate. Quite a claim, I know, but “…The Moderately Acceptable Guide…” was never going to work, so I went for this title!
Now available as a PDF e-book on “”, my latest book is a 216-page guide to Medium, packed with advice, links and references, based on the experience of nearly two years here, and approaching a thousand articles published.
It contains chapters on:
· the origin and history of Medium
· a beginner’s guide to the basics
· how to build an audience
· best practice in engagement
· a good writing routine
· the pros and cons of niches
· writing advice based on applying and combining the scientific principle of reverse engineering with the theory behind James Clear’s “Atomic Habits”
· publicity, marketing and how to go viral
· people and publications to follow
· artificial intelligence (AI)
· finances
· a better life
· learning from evolutionary theory to be a successful writer
· using the theory of memetic engineering to create viral articles
It is packed with useful links and references. You will want to buy it even just to find out if you are one of the people to follow, and I apologise profusely in advance to those not included, having probably offended most of Medium!
A comment from a recent buyer:
“Thank you John! I just bought and read through your Medium Guide. It’s excellent! Just the resource I needed as a new writer on Medium. I’ve been trying to figure this out on my own. I appreciate you taking the time to put the guide together.”
