Medium’s Growth Hack: “Become a Founding Member”

Medium recently launched this exclusive offer of becoming it’s founding member and anybody can now become a participate in this and become an exclusive Medium member. Don’t you think people calling themselves ‘I am a founding member of the Medium’ is cool?

I think it’s a bold move by Medium with a great idea involved.

What is so great about this Growth Hack?

> This sentence in bold ‘Become a Founding Member of Medium’ generates a sense of WOW feeling within people’s mind. Being a part of such a big publishing organization? C’mon nobody ever thought about such a great idea but Medium did. The impact is so much that many people just skip the reading (might take a quick glance) and tend to pay the amount when they see it is just $5/Month.

> The Medium policy clearly says, the money will go to the writers who write exclusive stuff on Medium and this attracts a lot of writers around the world to create their account/signup on Medium who weren’t a part of Medium before. Isn’t this a good way of getting attention from writers around the world?

> The member will get exclusive stories with just $5/month. Tell me how much do you pay for your newsletter per month or how much do you spend on your favorite book that you don’t read at all? I bet many people are going to get this exclusive membership. Medium has millions of readers and even if 10% (roughly) become exclusive members, just calculate the money Medium is going to make.

> This idea can actually impact other publishing platforms like wordpress, blogspot etc. For example, People create or host a website on wordpress to share their ideas and make some money end of the day by connecting their website to an adsense account but on Medium you do the same without investing anything now (only you should be a good writer though)
