I Got My First Tip On Medium
I am a delighted person today. While I have been writing for clients for the past three years, I had never thought of trying another form of writing, let alone getting paid for it. I have always had a passion for writing from a young age, but after completing my studies, copywriting and developing content for affiliate sites is what paid my bills, so I went for it.
A few years later, I learned about Medium, a platform where you can write about anything. I didn’t write much, but of the few articles I wrote, one of them was a personal story that I had never shared before.
You can read it here.
The story rested on my account for almost a year. Many things have happened, and I am working on regaining my zeal for writing. A top writer and one of my motivators, Abena Talks, asked us to share our writing on one of her posts, and I shared that article. And guess what? One person liked it and bought me a coffee on Ko-Fi. This comes a few weeks after Medium launched the Tipping feature, which is a bonus to people on the Medium Partnership program and a good feature for people from countries not supported by Medium.
To activate the Tipping Feature go to Settings — Audience Development — Tipping — Management Settings.
How much did I earn? $6. This is the first time I have been paid to write about myself, and the first dollar I have earned on Medium.
What will I use it for? I paid for the Medium Membership since I want to read more articles on Medium and gain more ideas on what to write about. This has motivated me to write more.
Happy Writing, Folks!
