I have a Medium account and I paid nothing. Just sign up for a Medium account then upload your articles. Just make sure they are good. If you want to enjoy special reader/writer facilities on Medium then you can subscribe to premium Medium which attracts a small fee.
If you are not interested in premium Medium you can continue publishing articles with your free Medium account. The amount of articles you can read a month may be restricted on the free Medium account but my experience shows the restriction isn’t strictly enforced.
Once you make a free account on Medium, Medium readers can only read a limited amount of locked stories per month. How many? You can still make a Medium profile and browse their site for free, but if you came across an interesting locked story of any kind and wanted to read it, you’re sort of caught in a catch 22 because you’ll have to give up one of your locked story coupons before diving down the rabbit hole. Medium allows you to read 3 locked stories for free per month as a sort of kind gesture, but after that they lock your profile down if you’re not a member and you can’t read more than a few paragraphs of any locked story afterwards. So the Medium reading limit is just three locked stories.
