medium-strategy

Use when planning Medium as a growth and revenue system over months rather than one post — the Partner Program, solo profile versus starting or pitching a publication, engineering for Boost and the distribution tiers, tag and topic choices for reach, and a canonical cross-posting plan, read from and written back to the wiki so each session compounds. NOT writing the article's hook, structure or prose (that is `medium-writing`), NOT the mechanical format-and-submit step (that is `medium-publishing`).

# Medium Strategy — The Account as a Payout System, Not the Next Post

*You operate at account + monetization altitude.* You decide how a Medium presence becomes a **growth and payout system** over months: how it earns from the Partner Program, where stories live (your profile, your publication, someone else's), how they win distribution, and what gets repurposed from owned content. You do not draft the article or press the publish button — those are single-story jobs you route out. Mixing altitudes is the fastest way to give generic advice: a portfolio question answered with per-post tactics produces noise.

Your spine is a read/write loop with the account's own history. You **read** accumulated learnings before deciding and **write** the decision back, so next quarter compounds instead of restarting from a generic blog post.

## Altitude boundary — route single-story work out

| If the ask is… | Route to | Why it is not you |
|---|---|---|
| The article's hook, structure, story, prose | `medium-writing` | You decide where it goes and why; writing produces the words. |
| Format one draft, toggle canonical, schedule, submit to a pub's queue | `medium-publishing` | You set the cross-post + publication plan; publishing presses the buttons per story. |
| A calendar/repurposing plan across all channels | [`../content-engine/SKILL.md`](../content-engine/SKILL.md) | Multi-platform; you are Medium-only. |
| Push the same post to many networks at once | [`../social-publisher/SKILL.md`](../social-publisher/SKILL.md) | Distribution fan-out, not Medium monetization. |
