Dear Beautiful fellow writers and friends,
I have a piece of exciting news to share with you, Medium has opened its doors for Indian writers. Please find the information here: https://blog.medium.com/new-partner-pro … 35f8557f6e
They say, "On August 1st, we will expand the Partner Program to accept applications for these additional 12 countries: Brazil, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Gibraltar, Hungary, India, Liechtenstein, Malaysia, Malta, Thailand, and the United Arab Emirates. By the end of the year, we plan to open up to another 50 or so.
If you are considering joining, please do not forget to join and follow my publication, The Hub Publication, on Medium. You can find the link to the submission guidelines here.: https://thehubpublication.com/write-for … 1189d5e011
They have also changed their policy of having 100 followers to join the partner program; now, you need to be a paid member, and the membership fee costs just $5/moth; please, please, please, grab this deal; this is gold!
I could also connect with you all there; I have left HubPages (partially) for good and peace of mind!
Much Love to you all!
Great news, Misbah! I did see the new policy about no longer needing 100 followers. Good moves on their part to be more inclusive. See you there. Bless you for all that you brought to HP. I'm happy for your success.
Thank you so much, Janis, for your warm and encouraging words! I'm thrilled to see you share my excitement about Medium's new policy changes. I think it's a step in the right direction, making the platform more accessible and inclusive.
I'm truly grateful for the bond we've shared on HubPages. It means a lot to know that friends like you appreciate and support my journey. I'm really looking forward to connecting with you on Medium. Let's continue to inspire and uplift each other!
Sending love and best wishes ❤️❤️
Will do. As soon as I publish my poetry book (end of summer?), I'll make more efforts to increase my activity on Medium. I love reading your pieces when I can. Thanks for the encouragement to connect. Hugs,
It was wonderful to read this news, Misbah. I fully endorse your invitation.
Sounds like things are looking up.
I still haven't checked out which profile of mine is a good one...one of these days I'll get that way.
Take care gal.
Bredz, thank you for your positive vibes! Indeed, it feels like things are taking a promising turn. Whenever you decide to explore Medium, I'm sure any profile of yours will stand out, given your unique voice and perspective.
Whenever you're ready to dive in, I'm here to support and connect!
Take care, and keep shining! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much Misbah.
I've already set up the stripe thing, so it's just a matter of time and now...that monthly fee.
See ya soon i hope.
Bredz
Okay....I've gone and done it.
I followed you.
We'll see how everything else goes.
Good news, thank you. I'll be there soon if I can extract myself from my clients.
Thanks Misbah for the information. All the best for your new goals. We will miss you here. Have a blessed time.
Salaam Misbah,
I hope you are doing well. I was missing you today, and you are here. What a nice coincidence! I hope they will add Pakistan to their list. How is everything going? I will always miss your lively discussion on Hubpages. Nothing is the same here. Everything seems boring to me.
Agreed.
So much has changed here in such little time.
Nice to see you EK
You are so kind as always, Brenda. I hope you are doing well. I read forum posts daily but don't respond; I don't know why. Keep up the good work and take care of yourself.
Stay safe and healthy...
Time changes everything, Moon, and it changed me too. I never wanted to leave HP; it's where my writing journey began. However, I can't forget the way I was threatened by HP staff via email. That's not the way I want to be treated, and it goes against my sense of self-respect, which I hold above all else. Anything can be sacrificed for self-respect.
Though I hope the staff member was polite that day, I must admit that I'm grateful for their rough attitude, as it gave me the courage to soar to new heights. Now, I'm joyfully embracing my journey.
Looking ahead, I hope that Medium will fulfill its promise and open opportunities for Pakistani writers by the end of this year, as they stated they would be doing so for 50 more countries. I miss you and everyone here a lot. ❤️❤️
You put in a lot of effort at work, and it's so upsetting when someone doesn't understand you. You are in a better place. And you deserve all the success.
Stay safe and healthy...
I've also become a member at Medium and have posted my first article - I think. So I'm also in need of followers there although I haven't a clue how you go about that.
Hi Rupert, could you kindly share the link to your Medium account? Thank you!
So Rupert...
The way I understand this program so far...
We can't earn until we are allowed to join partner program?
Which should open up on August 1 if we dont have 100 followers.
Here it is, thanks to my son who walked me through the process. Without him I wouldn't have a clue how to do it. Thanks Andrew

I left HP years ago and I have refused to write on here since. I won't even edit an article anymore. I had evergreen articles that were doing really well - now, after HP editors with no knowledge editing my articles again and again to the point now some of their information is wrong and...
