For this guide, I’m going to use: [How a Broken Pen Taught Me to Trust Faith and Timing](https://hive.blog/hive-153850/@dlmmqb/one-word-faith-thoughtfuldailypost) by @dlmmqb. ### Step 2: Review and edit your blog post on Hive if needed. In this case, *How a Broken Pen Taught Me to Trust Faith and Timing* required some minor edits before importing. ### Step 3: Copy the **Hive.blog** link of your post. (Links from other Hive frontends like PeakD or Ecency are not supported on Medium.com) ### Step 4: Go to Medium.com and click on **“Stories”** from the menu. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/hivemediumhub/23uFwixAye97dqZJykHsUSuQytFqz8VFcEgK4tP8Y3s9eRLArUt2cXgNKJpkqCv1otFp4.png) ### Step 5: Click on **“Import a story”** (you’ll find this option on the **Stories** page). ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/hivemediumhub/23xLMvMgith6AEj2WFLbewC2oZQARy3UEHAqpFw2HbnEpn6nqA1zi1TZ76PPr6Pax1psw.png) ### Step 7: Paste your blog’s **Hive.blog** link into the field provided. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/hivemediumhub/23tmmjqriYjitaZGpJRKZWNBZ5KgKw2bTVF5Mq98BTGrE8qXFKAbV1tDGtzVbQhw4uTd5.png) ### Step 8: Click on **“Import”** to begin importing your Hive post to Medium. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/hivemediumhub/23twAQDSEJxuWUwr9FN5H7QTcXpqcqCiYqXU7WXXXhzcvKe2ByeusdUMKFPRQaxEB311L.png) ### Step 9: Make any necessary edits on Medium. Explore features like **subheadings, image captions,** and other formatting tools to enhance your post. >**Reminder:** Always add a **canonical link** so search engines and algorithms don’t penalize you for duplicate content. >When you use the **Import** feature on Medium, it automatically includes a canonical link to your original Hive post. It will look something like this: ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/hivemediumhub/23uRKxJ22u5tZLUED3y9AjT9KdgUjNBTjek2WwyHREBd5zU2Cd9DgJx1eMi69ZbMPCcUL.png) ### Step 10: Click **“Publish.”** ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/hivemediumhub/23wXQhP5BuGXy1cg8sKCC4sA838CzSuKDQWKV9WcS8Lm2XygkhQG41QkputfcCWhAxggg.png) >Just like **Communities** on Hive, there are **Publications** on Medium. >However, publications often take a long time to accept submissions and they usually don’t accept posts that are older than **24 hours.** >So, it’s usually better to **publish your post without adding it to any publication.** ### Step 11: Add appropriate **tags** (called **topics** on Medium). Avoid overly broad or generic topics, as they can negatively affect your post’s reach. >**Tip:** For Hive blogs imported to Medium, you **don’t need to paywall your story.** >So, it's **not necessary to buy a Medium membership** just to publish. >You can always choose to **“Paywall your story”** later if you want. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/hivemediumhub/23tcNs5P2knxrR5HeZKPXHKw8QENfwJZAuYXeB9YgX1kXrEZvqMKNJwwDW72ujhS5oAq6.png) ### Step 12: Click **“Publish now”** to make your blog live on Medium! ### Step 13: Prefer sharing your post using the **“Copy Friend Link”** so people can access your content, even if there’s a paywall. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/hivemediumhub/23vsr3sgw8pEQ1xe8eyEQ5HLyEuvWjhv4E9R3ngi4YF1XMTdChmF6SSqva8fr8nrxrgrj.png) **Example:** *Friend Link* >**This Post is set to 100% power up**
