10,000 Monthly Views, 3,000 Monthly Reads, 50 Followers Later, Here’s My Thoughts

My Medium Stats Page Ending February 2021

Here’s a quick summary — I started writing on Medium in August 2019 and really started committing to writing an article every week since March 2020. Though I am a software engineer by profession, I focus on writing on these 3 topics:

• Software engineering
• Investing
• Personal finance

While I’m not particularly sure about what’s a good number on Medium is, but a 10,000 monthly view without posting on any social media platforms makes me pretty happy.

So, back to the question, how much did I earn from a year of writing?

Here’s the answer — $67.46 in my first year of writing on Medium.

However, 30% (ouch!) of my Medium earnings is subjected to withholding tax from where I live, so effectively, I only made $47.22.
