My Top 6 Most Read Medium Stories
Share old stories to earn more dough
Since Mediumās pay rates fell to near zero, many writers have been crying in their cuppa soup (because itās all they can afford to eat these days).
But fear not dear Mediumites, because Medium is still paying us for old stories. I am going to share mine top 6 in the order of the most readsā¦
Itās odd looking back. This next story touched a nerve. It had 20k reads and earned $501. It turned out, a year later, that my husband has Parkinsonās disease. So I was right to be concerned. This is not normal aging.
The piece was supposed to be written in a matter-of-fact light hearted manner, but I can see how people who hit the *rage* button might not have seen it that way.
This one accrued 8.2k reads. It turned out to be likely hyperbole. My source was a news account, reporting a supposed legitimate twitter account. Anyway, it earned $148. The Kremlin denied everything the following morning. Obviously. Have you seen Putin on his horse? š
