Wait I’m confused. Wouldn’t adding the canonical link hurt your potential earnings from Medium if the original blog post ranks higher on Google?..

[@thestackjunction]

Hi Tiff :)
Short answer to your question: maybe
Longer answer: On Medium you earn money when users with subscriptions read your posts. So, if those users coming from Google don't have subscriptions you won't earn money from those visits.
A lot of people use Medium to get more exposure to their content and their site. And the money they make on Medium is pennies compared to what they make with affiliate sales and other products by growing their email list and website (like Nick on the video).
So, the goal of most people is writing on Medium to get more newsletter subscribers that they can later convert on sales.
Also, by adding a canonical link to your site, if the Medium page gets any backlink the canonical will pass the link value to your site.
Overall, Medium is one channel that you can use, but it's a smarter decision to prioritize your site and newsletter.
