I’ve been on Medium for 223 days.

With zero writing-related background.

My first paywall article made $0.

Now, I’ve just made my first $100 articles.

That’s surreal.

Here are 3 lessons I’ve learned (hope they help you make your $100 articles)

#1 Writing is a Game of Numbers.

From my 194 posts:

• 103 articles made less than $1
• 56 articles made less than $5
• 18 articles made between $10–$100
• Only 1 article made more than $100

Writing on Medium is like a slot machine, but a slot machine with zero risk.

Writing is a game of numbers — your article is your coin. The more you insert, the more chance you have to win.

#2 Focus on Getting Better.
