As you know, every day I write an email which I send to my email lists. Those emails always point to a product sales letter as a way to generate sales. They are not heavy selling emails; I like to include value in the way of a story, information or an idea.
I add these emails to the website so that they can be read online by passing traffic and I also add them to another popular website as a way to drive people to my sales letters.
I have mentioned that website before in previous emails and that is what I want to talk about today. That website is called Medium and it is a place where readers and writers go to read and share interesting articles and stories.
Medium is free for the most part, but they do have a paid subscription which allows people who pay to read the articles writers lock behind the paid wall.
It isn’t expensive; I think it is something like £45 for the whole year. Medium share those subscription fees with writers.
Medium encourages writers to join their partner program and publish exclusive content which can only be read by people who pay the annual subscription.
While publishing my emails to Medium, I joined the partner program once I had hit the required number of followers which was at the start of August.
It seemed like a simple way to make some extra pennies to pay for the tea and biscuits here in the office.
It’s not like I am doing anything special or going out of my way to publish the content to Medium. I am writing these emails anyway and so I simple copy and paste them to medium once I have added them to the website.
It takes a couple of minutes extra to do and I am happy to say that it is a couple of minutes well spent.

Today as I write this email, I have generated an extra £22 this month sharing these ‘already written’ emails to Medium.
Last month I earned just shy of £18 from Medium.
That’s £40 extra in my pocket for doing very little.
Okay, this is not bank busting amounts of money, but it is extra money which I am making from something that I am already doing… and that is pretty cool.
Apparently there are people who focus solely on writing for Medium who make thousands of pounds each month.
I probably won’t make that kind of money because I am not focusing on Medium or its readers in the same way; I am simply sharing the emails that I write each day.
But I’m sure that I will be enjoying months where I make over £100.
I am averaging about five new posts each week to Medium. Adding those posts take no longer than 20 minutes a week total… and it is making me money.
It is highly possible that some people have been added to my email lists and bought products because I am posting to Medium. If that is the case, the amount of money that I have made could quite easily be a lot more and I may not fully know.
The point I want to make is that there are always ways to make some extra money.
I’ve said many times that while times are hard, cancelling cheap monthly subscriptions to things like Amazon Prime, Netflix, Spotify, Britbox or magazines which you enjoy and keep you sane, will only make life harder.
Taking away the remaining small pleasures will leave you with nothing to enjoy.
I believe that you should always focus on making more money even if it just covers those smaller pleasures.
Ideally you want to try and make as much money as possible to cover the increasing living costs as well as pay for those smaller pleasures, and what I am telling you now can do both.
I and many thousands of other people who are no different to you make decent amounts of money each and every month promoting products and services by email.
And as well as making money by sending emails, I am also making sales via our websites via passing traffic plus a little extra by sharing them on Medium.
Medium is a great place to share your articles and content as you could quite easily earn the money you need to either pay for smaller treats, of you could use it to fund the growth of your email business.
I’m not saying that you will start to earn money right away – you could if you focus on growing your audience first, I didn’t – but every pound that you do make will be incredibly useful.
It’s better in your pocket than someone else’s.
For just a minute or two’s work of copying and pasting the email you have just written, you’d be daft not to.
It can take as little as a few minutes to write an email. It depends on what you want to say.
A decent money making email may take an hour to write which is nothing out of your day, especially if that email helps put thousands of pounds into your pockets.
I’ve always said that the best thing a person can do for themselves is to grow an email list of their own. An email list can be your own personal cash machine if you use it right.
