Everything How I Finally Started Earning on Medium
I still remember the morning I earned my first $0.52 on Medium.
It was small, almost nothing but to me, it meant the world. Because that $0.52 was proof that my words had value Before that day, I had been writing for weeks with almost no results. Some of my stories got 10 views. Some got none. Every time I opened my stats, I felt a mix of hope and disappointment.
I kept asking myself Will this ever work
When I Almost Quit
There were days I wanted to stop.
Writing takes time. It takes effort. And when nobody reads, it hurts.
But something inside me said, keep going. So I did. I made a deal with myself: even if no one reads my stories, I’ll write two every week. I’ll keep showing up.
The Turning Point
After about a month, I realized my mistake I was writing only for myself
So I started writing for the reader.
I picked topics people care about personal growth, self improvement, online income, lessons from failure. I wrote about things Iod lived not just things I’d read And I submitted my stories to publications. The first few rejected me.
But one said yes That one yes changed everything
