Someone once told me that “Medium is a hungry platform” — ever greedy for new and fresh content.

The suggestion was that we must constantly provide Medium with new content to enjoy “success” (however measured on this platform).

I firmly believed in this advice, which is a significant part of why I posted almost daily on Medium for two years. However, I took a hiatus from the -platform at the end of February — only returning here this past week.

So what happens to earnings when you simply stop posting and interacting on Medium, as I did from March 1st?

That’s the question I am qualified to answer — and will do in this post.

I’ll show you my recent Partner Program Earnings momentarily, but for context, let me say that my first month on Medium was December 2021. I was able to enter the Partner Program roughly halfway through the month and earned $27.50 that month.

I “got serious” with Medium at the beginning of 2022 and quickly joined the oft-discussed “$100 Club” in January with earnings of $203.28. Since then, I’ve never dipped under that…
