Ever since I joined Medium.com, I’ve always wondered how much money they make as a company.

When I started writing and trying to earn money on the platform, I began to wonder a more important question — how much are they paying writers on Medium?

Fortunately for my curiosity, there were several ways to see glimpses of this.

They used to give more details but I can’t seem to find that information anymore. Either way, they still send out stats like the above by email once a month.

You can check out their account (

There are also many Medium sleuths who helped keep track of earnings trends.

If you haven’t heard of

’s monthly Medium earnings survey, you should check it out. Although its a subset of writers, it’s still interesting to see what people report every month.
