According to Cheddar.com, “A Medium spokesperson noted that the company is approaching 100 million monthly readers.”

In two years, Medium grew from 7,092,000 articles per year to 16,614,000.

The best performing article made $9,958.82, and the top writer received $49,581.31 in August 2020.

Only 2 of the top 5 stories of 2020 were published in Medium publications.

So, you have the proof that Medium works.

Yet, does it work for you?

Start studying Medium top writers like you learned a famous writer in high school. And you’ll find interesting patterns.

Every top writer follows the same levels of learning until they reach the top. But a good percentage doesn’t make it for two reasons:

  • Give up too soon.
  • Writing is not their thing.

In April 2020, I started my journey, and at the same time, thousands of other dreamers signed up too. I followed some of them since day one. But unfortunately, they published only 10 articles. Never hear about them since.
