I wrote on Medium everyday in January 2023. Here’s what happened.

The first month of a year-long experiment.

I’ve done this experiment before, but it’s been a while.

I decided in December 2022 that I wanted to give daily blogging another shot in 2023. I actually started on December 17. So, I got a two week or so head start.

One thing that’s different about this particular experiment is that I decided to focus on views rather than income. I have a low-key goal of getting to 100,000 monthly views by the end of 2023.

Let me show you were I started.

In the month of November 2022, I had 17,281 views. I wrote exactly one blog post. Notice that the top number on this graph is 600.

In December, things started to get better because I started to write everyday.
