How Do I Edit My Subscriber Link and Create That Cool Box With My Image?
Medium made easy
Customize your message to attract moreĀ readers
Iāve been a writer at Medium for a few years, and Iām an editor for several different publications as well. Iām often asked questions about Medium and how things workĀ here.
I know itās possible to find answers if you search, but I remember what it was like when I firstĀ arrived.
I was so thankful when someone would take pity on me and help me figure things out. (You know who you are.Ā )
Well, hereās me, paying itĀ forward.
Hereās a recent question from a newĀ writer:
āI hope you can help me with thisĀ issue.
Iām trying to encourage readers to subscribe to my Medium account so they donāt miss any of my posts. At the end of each article, I have writtenĀ this:
Click this link to become a member of my Medium family. Youāll get all the goods, every single juicy post, whenever I write a newĀ one.
How do I make it look like this coolĀ box?ā
Don't miss a single juicy post.
Hereās myĀ answer:
In your settings, look for Publishing. Scroll down a bit, to find Promote email subscriptions.
You will see directions to share your subscribe page. This will take you to a link you can use to promote subscriptions to yourĀ account.
Just click through and then copy the link that shows up at the top of your screen. It will look something likeĀ this:
https://treelangdon.medium.com/subscribe
This page allows readers to sign up to get all of your stories via email. Use the link in your stories or social mediaĀ posts.
Paid subscribers can access the entire archive of my stories from the beginning, along with my poetry and every article Iāve ever written here. If you arenāt a paid subscriber, you can access the archive for free with a 7-day trial.
What about the coolĀ box?
Copy the link, then go to your story where you want the linkĀ box.
In Edit mode, click on the location where you want theĀ box.
Hit Enter, so you begin on a newĀ line.
Then paste your link into that newĀ line.
Now you can hit ENTER, and in seconds the new shiny box will showĀ up!
Bingo!
Don't miss a single juicy post.
Customizing your subscription message
You can also edit your subscription message on this same page. Itās easy to figureĀ out.
When you click through this link, youāll get a screen that lets you create a Headline and the Body of your message. It even gives you a cool preview of your message as youĀ go.
