The True Story of How to Build Earnings on Medium
No humble-brags or bare-faced lies here
This is not one of those articles that draws you in with a made-up stat, then makes you read through a load of waffle before telling you a common-sense tip you already knew.
I’ve seen way too many of them.
This is my story. It’s what I’ve done to get to the point where I’m past 900 followers. Total earnings in the thousands of dollars (mainly thanks to a huge slice of luck when bonuses were a thing) and in the 7% club (over $100 earnings per month) 10 out of the 18 months I’ve been on this platform.
There are loads of writers more successful than me. Hats off to them. But there are also plenty struggling to make any money at all on here (I know because I was one of them for months).
I’m so sick of earnings articles that are clickbait, misleading and just plain wrong, that I want to give my side of the story. This is how I have built my earnings on this platform.
The Secret… There Is No Secret
Everyone suspects that there is some code that unlocks Medium. That there are a group of writers who somehow know it, and they won’t share it with us mere mortals.
