Prototypr is an official Medium partner publication Over the next 6 months, we’re piloting a partnership with Medium that will get you better reach when publishing on Prototypr’s Medium publication, and help you earn money from your writing, if you want to. Since we’ve been already been receiving submissions and publishing content that’s behind Medium’s paywall, it makes sense for us to experiment with this model. We’ll be using this Prototypr Community forum as a place for you to get feedback on articles you'd like to publish in our Medium publication: Leave drafts and ideas in the relevant channel Use Chat to contact us for editing help. Here is much faster than email. Let us know your thoughts on the partnership programme If you’d like to help edit the publication, please mention that too. Publishing with us Medium introduced their Partner Programme to enable writers to earn money from their work. Since its introduction almost a year ago, we’ve seen more and more writers choosing to publish their content behind Medium’s paywall. It’s fine to publish outside of the Partner Programme - we’ll distribute it in Prototypr Weekly if it’s a good fit. However, your work won’t reach Medium’s homepage or be distributed to Medium topic subscribers. It’ll only be distributed to followers of your account: Read more about the paywall and article distribution here. The Paywall Dilemma Content on design/code has generally been free for anyone to access in the past, as it is often supported by sponsors, or produced by a company selling a product or service. If not, the author can usually afford to share their work without profiting financially. Not everyone is in this position though. There is evidence in the number of people taking advantage of Medium’s paywall opportunity. Whilst content has been free for readers, it has never been free to produce. The Partner Programme enables any Medium writer a chance to earn money from their work, without ads. This also results in content that hasn’t been influenced by sponsors, and the writer can get paid. We’re also happy to help edit your articles to tell your story better. Read more about publishing on Medium here. What’s your opinion? If you would prefer to write outside of Medium’s paywall, at the moment, we cannot commission these articles. However we are happy to distribute your articles to subscribers of Prototypr Weekly, and publish them on our own platform outside of Medium. This will be improved in Prototypr 3. This is a pilot partnership, so we welcome your feedback and opinions. If you’re a reader or writer that is being affected by this, please let us know and why.

Submitting your article to our publication Prototypr is an official Medium partner publication, and publishing with us means you will keep ownership of all your content according to Medium's terms. Here's how to add your story to our publication so it can be distributed to our audience: 1. Open your story in edit mode (click the gear icon > Edit story): 2. Click the '...' icon to access the story settings: 3. Choose Prototypr Publication and click 'Add Story': Once you've submitted your article by pressing 'Add Story', it will join our publishing queue and we will be notified. Your article will usually be published within 24 hours. If it's not, please contact us in this forum. Featuring in Prototypr Weekly Your article may be selected to go out in our Stories of the Week in the Prototypr Weekly newsletter too. If you are publishing as part of Medium's Partner Programme, you can also earn money from your writing. If you have feedback on this, please let us know in this thread. Find more details on publishing on Medium here. More About Medium's Paywall Medium’s business model is designed to serve writers and readers — that’s it. It’s why, back in 2017, we moved away from the race-to-the-bottom incentives of advertising, not to mention its distracting banners, junky pop-ups, auto-play video, and data trackers that follow you around the internet. You won’t see any of that on Medium, and that’s because we don’t accept advertising. That said, we must have a way to fund this healthier experience. So, instead, Medium has a metered paywall and a subscription service, which costs only $5 per month or $50 per year. For those not up on the industry lingo, here’s how a metered paywall works: Everyone can read several paywalled stories for free every month; people who subscribe can read them all. (You can read an explanation from our founder and CEO Ev Williams on why we launched the paywall, and you can get more detail about the model from Ev and from a recent Digiday article about our subscription business, and how it’s working.) If a writer chooses to put their story behind the paywall they make it eligible to be reviewed by a curator and recommended to Medium readers.

@kelechi Thanks, Yes it's my birthday and I did move from UK to US, I might rework the stamp as putting my birthday seems to distract others too. I'm going to make the arrow clickable I think, just a scroll down to the work seems appropriate. Glad to hear you liked the case studies, I definitely focussed on content with my new site! Such great feedback, thanks again for taking the time to check it out!
