3 Little Tweaks to Join the Top 10 Percent of Medium Writers
How to avoid being the average (and broke) Medium writer
Only 8–10% of writers make more than $100 per month. As far as the ones who make a full-time living from Medium? I personally know almost one hundred percent of them.
There aren’t many of us.
But people act like this asymmetrical distribution of success is unique to Medium.
Most people don’t make a full-time living blogging, period. Never have. Most people don’t start successful businesses, period. Never have. Success of any kind is rare.
So before I get into the tweaks that can make you successful on Medium, first get this idea out of your head that this platform is some sort of charity.
Medium owes you absolutely nothing just like the world, in general, owes you nothing.
It pains me to see the level of complaining from newbies, it really does. I don’t understand some of you.
Check my receipts — I started writing on Medium in November 2015 and wrote on the partner program for 19 months at a 30+ article per month clip to make it to my first $10,000 month.
Stop being lazy.
