The Beginning of a Journey

Let me take you back to November 2021. I still remember the day I joined Medium.

Like many others, my first thought was, “How can I make money here?”

But here’s the thing: Pakistan had no Medium Partner Program (MPP) back then.

No chance to earn a single penny. Yet, I signed up anyway.

If you’re not a Medium member, you can read the full story Here.

Why? It could be curiosity. It could be the itch to write.

Or maybe it was something bigger — a need to share stories, to connect, to build something meaningful.

Little did I know that this decision would kickstart a 4-year rollercoaster ride of highs, lows, lessons, and growth.

The Early Days: Writing Without Rewards

Those first few months were tough. Writing without the prospect of earning wasn’t easy.
