I like to document my process and journey whenever I start something new. So I hope this reaches whoever is considering joining Medium as a member and wondering if it’s worth it.

This is how my own experience went, so you’ll be the judge of that.

I joined the Medium Partner Program a month ago as a consistent writer this time. There’s a difference between joining, writing a few pieces then waiting, expecting big bucks, and joining to write.

It’s all about your mindset and how you approach this. So with this approach, yes it’s worth it. You can grow your content library while supporting other writers.

Online writing is no joke. You’re either in it for the long run or you don’t make it past a few weeks.
