Republish on Medium

We’ve already seen that search engines are great for bringing free readers to your reviews. We’ve also discussed the importance of having lots of links, if you want to rank well in search.

Now we’re going to reveal a sneaky shortcut that many savvy marketers use to get visitors for free. They leverage Medium.com—a free blogging platform that is amazingly popular. Medium allows you to republish your content (including reviews) and potentially get lots of visitors. And because you can link straight back to the original content (your review), this can really boost your numbers.

With over 100 million readers a month, Medium has a massive audience that can bring you lots of traffic on its own. But that’s only part of the story. We’ve already discussed that websites with lots of high-quality incoming links have ‘authority’ in the search engines. They already have a huge head start in generating search traffic.

Medium is one of these authority sites. In fact, it’s one of the biggest and most powerful. With a Domain Authority of 95 out of 100, Medium is a top performer.

This is important because when you publish on Medium, you get the benefit of all this power. Your reviews get a big boost in search engine rankings. All you have to do is republish your reviews on Medium—and that doesn’t cost a cent.

Once you’ve created your free Medium account, you’re ready to publish your first review. Click on your profile picture, then select ‘Write a story.’

On the next page, paste in the title and content of your review.

You can select the text to make changes to the formatting, add in extra headers or format links. Remember to include a link back to your review. When it all looks right, click ‘Publish’ at the top of the page.

Add some relevant tags, then click ‘Publish Now’ or schedule the post to be published at a future date.

Your review will be republished immediately. You may start getting visitors from Medium right away and search engine visitors will follow soon after.

One more thing...here’s a bonus money-making tip! You can also sign up for Medium’s Partner program and get paid for your work. Once you’ve joined, you will make money when people read your reviews. The more reads you get, the more you get paid. It’s a simple way to add yet another online income stream to your portfolio.
