Less than 30 Views, $0.19 Earnings to 1,000s of Views & 100s of Dollars
Why You Should Keep Writing Even If Nobody Cares
There is hidden power in being ignored and not making anything when you first start so stick around and find out!
I have been publishing at least one article every single day since November, the month that I rejoined Medium after an over-year-long hiatus.
Nothing happened for weeks, I mean, nada.
In November, my total reads and earnings were:
Reads: 29
Earnings: $0.19
By Christmas, I had published over 60 articles but my reads and earnings ratio were still the same.
A bit sad but yet I was glad to have made something because the $0.19 showed me that it is possible to make money just by practicing writing in public.
I knew I wouldn’t get traction for at least 6 months to a year… Even Medium legends like Eve Arnold and Alex Mathers were ignored during their first year on Medium.
Few are like Bin Jiang or Carl Jeffers who hit a full-time income in less than 3 months.
