Medium VS WordPress

Facebook Group — For Medium Writers

Recently I have created my own blog called Legendary Spartan

This was long in development, with a lot of tweaking for the best designs for the blog.

But to the question at hand, which is better? Well, my findings are quite shocking… My blog with only 6 views on my ad generated me 0.42 EUR.

How Much Did I Earn With My Blog?

Now before you say “Luis that’s really low!” Well, it ain’t, from only 6 VIEWS I earned 0.42 euros. So imagine if I had 1,000 views? Keep in mind though, this amount was paid to me per Ad click.

Let’s compare with Medium. Medium only pays you depending on how much a user reads your content. Whereas this model only pays you via ad clicks. However, some ad networks pay you per impression (per ad view).

Personally, I prefer to get paid per ad click as it has greater returns than a reader reading a bit of your article.

Will I Be Quitting Writing On Medium?
