Chapter 1: The Rise of TikTok

TikTok has rapidly gained immense popularity over the past few years, becoming a platform where you can find a diverse range of videos covering nearly every subject imaginable, including writing. There's a vast community interested in freelance writing, and intriguingly, this niche remains largely unexplored. Few creators on TikTok focus on freelance writing, which presents a unique opportunity to engage with this audience early on.

A few weeks back, I began sharing my experiences writing on Medium through TikTok, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. Many viewers expressed a keen interest in learning more about how they could also start writing on Medium. This motivated me to create additional videos addressing their inquiries and sharing my journey on the platform. As I continued, I began to observe some notable changes.

Section 1.1: Gaining Followers and Engagement

The first change I noticed was a surge in followers—not just on TikTok, but also on Medium. Additionally, I saw a significant increase in the number of people subscribing to Medium through the link I had included in my TikTok bio. This was particularly exciting as it meant I would receive half of their monthly subscription fee, leading to a substantial boost in my earnings this month compared to last. What intrigued me was that I hadn’t actively promoted my affiliate link; viewers chose to sign up after watching my content.

As a writer, establishing a following on most platforms, especially Medium, can be quite challenging. Therefore, I was pleasantly surprised by the influx of new visitors to my page from TikTok. Although posting on TikTok might not appeal to everyone, I've found several benefits worth considering for writers looking to expand their reach. If you're searching for ways to promote your work and potentially earn extra income through the Medium Partner Program, I highly recommend exploring TikTok and creating a few posts.
