Build a 100% Automated AI Blogging System: Reach 100M+ Readers on Medium 🚀

Written By avalonnmedia .

✅Sign Up Free for Make — Check Current Partner Promotions

✅ Try RSS App for Free

September 2026 update: The video below shows an older Make-to-Medium workflow. Make’s Medium app is now legacy: existing connections may still work, but new connections and new Medium integration tokens are unavailable. A new Medium account cannot simply follow the old token-creation step.

See Make’s current Medium documentation. If you do not already have a working connection, generate a draft for review and publish it manually, or adapt the publishing step to a supported destination. The rest of this guide is a reference to the original workflow.

Why Medium.com is Your Secret Weapon 🎯

Before we dive into the automation setup, let's talk about why Medium is the perfect platform for your content:

  • Built-in Audience: Medium boasts 100M+ monthly readers actively searching for insightful content

  • Incredible SEO Power: Medium can help readers discover your writing, but publishing there does not guarantee search rankings or an audience

  • Zero Technical Headaches: Forget WordPress themes, hosting issues, and plugin management

  • Instant Credibility: Leverage Medium's established reputation instead of starting from zero

Quick Setup: Your Medium Account 📝

  1. Go to medium.com and create a free account (takes about 5 seconds)

  2. Set up your profile:

    • Navigate to Settings

    • Add your profile information

    • Include links to your content/funnel

    • Enable email replies for reader engagement

    • Customize your footer (appears at the bottom of every article)

Building Your Automated System: The 6-Module Setup ⚙️

Step 1: Setting Up make.com

  1. Sign up for make.com (free to start)

  2. Create a new scenario

  3. Optional: Import my make blueprint (find it in the video description)

Step 2: The Six Essential Modules 🔧

Here's our simple but powerful workflow:

  1. RSS Module: Sources content and insights

  2. Perplexity AI: Writes unique posts from those insights

  3. ChatGPT: Creates optimized titles

  4. Image Generation: Creates custom blog images

  5. Medium Image Upload: Handles image publishing

  6. Medium Post Creation: Publishes the final article

Step 3: Detailed Module Setup 🛠️

RSS Module Configuration

  1. Use RSS.app to create your content feed

  2. Choose your content sources:

    • Website subscriptions

    • Newsletters

    • Social platforms

    • News sources

    • Custom topics

Perplexity AI Setup

  1. Create a Perplexity account

  2. Generate your API key

  3. Configure the module:

    • Set max tokens to 10,000

    • Create your content generation prompt

    • Link RSS feed variables

ChatGPT Integration

  1. Set up your OpenAI account

  2. Configure title generation

  3. Set up image prompt creation

Image Generation

  1. Use a currently supported image-generation model; the DALL-E 3 API has been retired

  2. Configure image settings

  3. Set response format to image file

Medium Integration

  1. Use an existing working legacy Medium connection; new tokens and new Make connections are unavailable

  2. Configure image upload

  3. Set up post creation with markdown formatting

Budget separately for Make credits, research and writing API calls, images, and any RSS subscription. A free Make account does not make every connected service free. Test each module and check the source facts before publishing a draft.

Best Practices for Success 📈

  1. Test Incrementally: Run each module separately before connecting everything

  2. Name Your Modules: Use clear, descriptive names for easy management

  3. Start in Draft Mode: Test your posts before making them public

  4. Set Reasonable Intervals: Daily posting is a good starting point

  5. Monitor Quality: Regularly check your published content

Alternative Platforms and Workflows 🔄

While this system is optimized for Medium, you can adapt it for:

  • WordPress

  • Ghost

  • Blogger

  • Wix (80-90% automated)

  • Squarespace (80-90% automated)

Pro Tips for Maximum Impact 💡

  1. Customize Your Prompts: Make them specific to your niche

  2. Optimize Your RSS Sources: Choose highly relevant content feeds

  3. Monitor Engagement: Use Medium's analytics to track performance

  4. Refine Your Profile: Keep your bio and links updated

  5. Engage with Responses: Build relationships with readers
