5 Platforms That Pay Writers in 2020 (2024)

The internet is flooded with clickbait and it is difficult to find genuine websites. But there are still many websites that pay writers for well-written content.

Medium is one such website that provides a platform to writers and rewards them for their genuine work. It connects you with avid readers who appreciate quality work.

Anyone can join Medium’s Partner Program and earn money when any Medium member reads their articles. All you need to do is write on topics close to your heart and present a unique perspective to readers.

Once you become a member and submit your idea, an editorial team will review your article. If it passes their quality standards, they will recommend it to readers interested in that topic.
