3 Steps To $100 a Month On Medium. (Reminder for New Writer Only)
Action speaks louder than words
This is meant to be read on desktop mode, if you are on mobile, use your imagination. Does this sound better than please stay for…..X seconds.

After spending all those hours writing, now you need someone to read them and possible feed backs.
Step 1: Have a goal and beware of what you’re doing.
If you April is your first or second month, hitting that $100 should be your goal.
Look at this way or make a check list:
- Do you write and post daily?
- Do you engage with other writers before and after you post?
- What do your reader like to read?
No mater how the algorithm changes the results are all in public. That means for the one that digs, they will find gold.
Step 2: How and who you should engage with first.
- When you start reading keep in mind that you need to clap after you comment, you can highlight all you want. (50 clap is an option, use it as an effort of appreciation)
- These engagement works both ways, if you did like to know who is the first you should engage with, just ask in the comments and I’ll tell you.
- In general, you already know who you should interact with first, if not look at your precious posts, did few of them keep on showing up? The one that keep showing up for them is your new friend.
Step 3: Now put step 1 & 2 in your subconscious and doing it.
On Medium the system is measuring your post 24/7, but the first few hours determine the placement, don’t ask me why, idk, it just happen over and over again.
You can do it in any order:
- Write
- Read
- Engage
It is that simple, some writer do forget to clap and comment instead, that is okay but if you do it too often, the energy is wasted as I can’t go around every time and chase for claps.
You can tell if you clapped but the clap icon if it is shadowed or not.


I don’t normally do list step post but if it helps, let me know.
Sometimes, new writer already got everything correct, just missing the consistent engagement part, things adds up if you are committed into it.
This information is base on all the reading I have done from different writers on medium include their earning reports and how often I see them in different posts.
You can check Oliver Lövström’s post on the details with their earnings.
