Is Medium an Effective Stage to Gain Exposure and Attract Opportunities?

You, I and other writers write on Medium for different reasons. You might want to help a single person; others have a strong desire to move the entire world.

Some write for the love of writing, and some, like me, want to impact millions while earning money, getting business opportunities, publishing a book, etc. Don’t you dare to judge my greedy desires?

Despite our different reasons for writing on Medium, I don’t believe that any of us would say no to opportunities that get us extra money, exposure, or influence.

Many writers write here to promote their books, online courses, consulting services, paid email newsletters, and more. I was curious at the beginning and wanted to try it myself. Who doesn’t want extra sales?

Although Medium is an excellent platform with plenty of talented readers hungry for top-quality services and products, no signs show that Medium is the right place to promote a service or a digital product.

I have been experimenting for the last month by adding links to my online courses and consulting services, and I honestly got little to no response. I got a few emails asking about my services, but I heard nothing back once I responded.
