Medium is one of the best ways to share your ideas online with a built-in audience of people searching for great content.
Most providers, however, are stuck with simply linking out to their Form or Landing Page with a standard link.
Kit still links out to the Form or Landing Page, but the difference is what we can achieve on the Medium end, which will look way better than a standard link!
So fancy.
What do you think?
Now, the above opt-in looks better than a jumbled link, right? Here's the best way to make it happen:
Get the share link on a Form
Go into your Form.
Click Publish at the top right.
You'll be shown a popup with several embed options.
Choose Share > Copy to select your link.
Get the share link on a Landing Page
Go into your Landing Page.
Click Publish at the top right.
A menu will open with a few sharing options.
Click the papers icon to copy the Landing Page's share link to your clipboard.
Add your Form or Landing Page to Medium
Paste the link into your Medium story draft, and then hit "Enter" or "return" on your keyboard.
Now, your Form or Landing Page will show as a widget style because of the backend JavaScript!
(When subscribers click the Form or Landing Page, they will still go to the Form or Landing Page off-site. That's because Medium doesn't allow direct Form embeds.)
Extra tips
You may want to edit the text on your Form or Landing Page "widget" on the Medium story draft to keep it simple and clear. (Changing the title of your Form or Landing Page in Kit to help with this too.)
This is a great next-level way to embed a portion of your Form or Landing Page instead of sharing a general link.
