When I started taking writing seriously about 4 1/2 months ago, my first payment from Medium was a little over $2.
I can top that. My first payment from Medium was 1c.
You read that correctly. 1c.
Which I’m sure they only gave me out of pity. They were probably thinking, “We’ve got to give the poor schmuck something, so he doesn’t go out and hang himself in a fit of depression over his failure as a writer.”
So who’s the biggest Loser now, huh?
But seriously, you’ve more or less said that if you work for someone else, you’re working to make someone else rich. Which is what David Kiyosaki says in Rich Dad, Poor Dad. If David Kiyosaki can write a series of bestselling books and make a ton of money off writing on that theme, maybe you can, too.
