Medium Earnings
Are You One of Medium’s Slow Burners?
This article’s for you, my people!
Last week, I published my 50th article on Medium. Yay! Three cheers for me, right? Hold your horses. You mightn’t be too impressed when you hear it’s taken me over a year to reach that milestone.
Averaging just under one article per week, I’m hardly Peter Prolific, am I? And if that’s not a good reason to shove the party poppers back in your pocket, my earnings aren’t anything to shout about either.
When it comes to dirty cash, I don’t often make it into the top 5% of writers who earn more than $100 per month from their work on Medium. It’s happened to me only twice.
And yet here I am, still writing, still feeling chipper. Never felt chippier, in fact.
Those of you who do regularly make it into the top 5% can look away now. Unless you’re desperate to learn how to write fewer articles and earn less money, this piece isn’t for you.
I’m writing this for the 95% of members who may feel like they’re failing on this platform because they aren’t making big bucks.
My message is that maybe you’re not a failure. Maybe you’re one of Medium’s Slow Burners.
