How To Join Medium Partner Program From Countries Where Stripe Is Not Available?

I am living in Pakistan and I have successfully received four payments from Medium. I feel you if you are living in a country where Stripe is not available and you want to join the Medium Partner program. Different writers from India, Pakistan, Srilanka, middle-eastern countries, African countries have contacted me for showing them the process of how to Join the Medium partner program. The process is a bit difficult through direct messaging so I thought why not document the process in an article.

I find about Medium through Quora and joined Medium as a writer on March 2019, but I wasn’t in the Medium partner program, I joined MPP in the very beginning of the 2020 and only made over $4.4 in one month and then did a good contribution by writing and leveling content on Medium. I write unique articles and have published over 120 Medium stories back then.
