The key is to be true to yourself.

Write from your heart and mind — not from the mind of Medium. Don’t try to be catchy or robotic. When you do anything from your heart, the money will always follow.

Go ahead and clap for that!

Here is how my heart and mind led to my most profitable articles.

My Curiosity

The first article on my list that earned over $100 is my comparative analysis of Kamala Harris and Michelle Obama. I hope to determine why Kamala does not receive as much love from the Black community as Michelle. Please note that I wrote this article in April 2023, long before Harris submitted her bid to become President.

I had observed a lack of praise and attention for then-Vice President Harris and wanted to know why she was not getting the same treatment we gave — and still give — to Michelle Obama. So, I wrote about it and earned over $100.

This article was not boosted, but it was published in Zora — a now inactive (my assessment based on lack of activity) publication with 63,000 followers.
