Publish your article on ProductCoalition.com
We are a crowd sourced publication and work with you to distribute your articles
I started The Product Coalition, as a way to help product passionate people bring their medium articles together into a common publication, in order to increase exposure.
This has been a passion project, that’s turned into a huge success, resulting in ProductCoalition.com being one of Medium’s most engaged and followed product focused publications.
Due to our crowd sourced articles, ProductCoalition.com writers have articles that cover a huge range of topics, beyond just product management, such as product design, product development, start-ups, and thought provoking articles such as “Media, Technology and Social Businesses are the Same Thing, and Perhaps They Should be Run That Way”.
Our Slack Community
In June 2016 we launched our ProductCoalition.com product management Slack community, that enables our readers and authors to chat, get advice, connect and organise meetups around the world. Hit the link above to join us.

Here are some words from Medium for you to consider regarding the Medium paywall on your articles. This is not a requirement for Product Coalition writers, nor do I prioritise articles based on the paywall, and is for information purposes only, as many contributors are unaware of how this works. For info and support on the Medium paywall, contact Medium or visit https://medium.com/creators
Medium’s business model is designed to serve writers and readers — that’s it. It’s why, back in 2017, we moved away from the race-to-the-bottom incentives of advertising, not to mention its distracting banners, junky pop-ups, auto-play video, and data trackers that follow you around the internet. You won’t see any of that on Medium, and that’s because we don’t accept advertising. That said, we must have a way to fund this healthier experience. So, instead, Medium has a metered paywall and a subscription service, which costs only $5 per month or $50 per year.
Therefore Medium’s job is to find great stories to put behind the metered paywall, and help more readers find and enjoy those great stories, which in turn helps grow our paying subscriber base. And a growing subscriber base helps Medium fund more great stories for readers — through our Partner Program, our commissioning efforts, and our syndication partners. For those not up on the industry lingo, here’s how a metered paywall works: Everyone can read several paywalled stories for free every month; people who subscribe can read them all. (You can read an explanation from our founder and CEO Ev Williams on why we launched the paywall, and you can get more detail about the model from Ev and from a recent Digiday article about our subscription business, and how it’s working.)
If a writer chooses to put their story behind the paywall they make it eligible to be reviewed by a curator and recommended to Medium readers. We have a team of curators who review and approve stories for recommendation on Medium through topics like Technology, Business, Culture . . . and even Cannabis. Our editors and curators recommend stories to millions of Medium readers every day on our personalized home page, in our email digests, and in our mobile apps (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram).
In general, when a story is approved by a curator, it becomes eligible for more prominent featuring by our editorial team across our site, our apps and in our emails, as well as by our social team on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
Also, here are some rules from Medium:
- No ads or sponsored content, as defined in “Ad-Free Medium.”
- Avoid embeds that directly collect emails or data from users. See “Embedded Content” under the rules.
- Remove or disclose all affiliate links in the story. This is a rule from the FTC.
Lastly, everything I do for the Product Coalition on Medium and Slack is without advertising or sponsorship, and only the writers benefit from the Medium paywall, not publication owners like myself. You can always buy me a coffee if you’d like to express your thanks.
