Facts of My Medium Case
- On September 3, 2020, I joined Medium Partner Program after hearing good reviews and reading free articles on the platform. Two days after, I published my first story which contains a commitment to write 100 articles and not expecting to earn.
- I was able to publish 12 articles, 8 of which were published through publications. I had my fair share of 3 rejections from big publications. My stories have been viewed 669 times and 125 people started following me.
- While not expecting to earn, my account registered $ 3.08 in my first month.
Issue: Whether or not I will continue writing on Medium
I answer in the affirmative because Medium has a lot to offer. One month has given me so many insights that challenged not just the writer but the person in me.
