From Ordinary to Viral: My First Medium Earnings Post’s Success Story
Still feels like a dream!!
Disclaimer — Don't expect a fairy tale.
But instead, this article is all about my gratitude to the readers who loved my story regarding my first earnings. It was nothing short of a miracle.
I wrote the story way back in August 2022 after receiving my first medium payout. I just wanted to share my happiness and how much it meant to me. It was a surreal and amazing experience. Before I raise the bar of expectation to Mt. Everest, let me be clear, it was $3 dollars. If you were expecting like $100 dollars, sorry for the disappointment.
But here is the thing. Those $ 3 dollars meant something to me. It was a beautiful experience.
A feeling of achievement, pride, and inspiration to myself.
And I wanted to share it with others and wished at least someone will get inspired by it. And hence I wrote this story.
After writing this post, I took a break for a few months from Medium owing to my work commitment. And when I returned back, I was flabbergasted by the number of comments and notifications. It took a few minutes for me to get accustomed to get the knack of what exactly happened. And then I started reading the comments one by one.
The amount of love and kindness that readers have shown me is beyond words. I could even try the Shakespearean way of expressing my feelings, but still, I don't think it will do justice.
So I just want to say —
Thank you!!😊
Passion is the Key: Why it’s the Only Thing That Matters
Passion can not only bring personal fulfillment, but also financial gain. When you are driven by something that you are truly passionate about, such as creating art, writing poetry, or composing, it brings a sense of purpose to your life and allows you to make a connection with the world around you. And, if you are able to earn a living doing what you love, the feeling of accomplishment is even more powerful.
