My total earnings in the year 2023 from Medium: $76.07.

As you can see, there is a significant increase in earnings, from $76 to $948, after I became a Friend of Medium in January 2024.

This might also be because of changes on Medium, where more money flowed into the platform after the introduction of Premium membership. I was read by more Friend of Medium members.

When less was more

For me, the craziest statistic is December 2024, where I made $56 even though I published just three stories. I was hardly on the platform in December; and I still managed to cross the $50 mark. Go figure.

I guess Medium wants us to play, live, and write.

Write less to earn more?
