Yes you open a new account. How to do this? Well, I have one account under my email. One under my facebook. One under myself twitter name--Medium needs to link each account to something like that. I guess you could use a new email, too. Now, here's the amazing thing, you don't actually need to pay the five bucks in order to make money on that new account. You can still fill out the strip info and be paid on your new account EVEN IF IT'S NOT A PAID MEMBER>. I found that to be gross though so I gave medium another five bucks a month for each account. Here's another bizarre thing. I asked the Medium help desk if it is ok for one of my accounts to clap for another of my account's stories. They said yes, fine! Ha. I don't do it though, because that feels gross too! I calculated that if I made five accounts I could break 100 thousand per annum easy. We'll see. So anyhow Kasey, this really should be proprietary information. It's like a super secret that I could sell in some how to make money on medium course. BUt I have no interest in that shit. I give away my advice for free in the Haven Writing School. I just point this out so you become my lifelong loyal friend. Peace.
