February was the first month for me being monetized at NewsBreak and the second month for Medium. The results are in and they are drastically different. In this article, I’ll share the details and some thoughts about them.

To make this easier with how both of these writing sites show stats, let’s compare the stats from Feb. 4 to March 4, or the last 30 days.

Although my Medium account goes back to August 2018, I’ve only started seriously writing here since early Dec. 2022 (three months ago).

I started writing at NewsBreak in late Dec. 2022.
