5 Simple Ways to Earn Above $1000 on Medium
Medium allows you to earn as much as you can
If you’re reading this article probably you’re new to Medium or unable to make a handsome income on Medium. We come across people who would say that earning on the medium is something out of their domain, but it isn’t the truth. It’s you who can earn like others who are earning hundreds and thousands every month.
Most of the writers get dejected early in their writing careers without exploring their full potential and sticking to it. It’s important that even if you earn less, you should keep going and give it a worthful try. You must remember there are writers who are earning hundreds and thousands of dollars.
1- Where to start
You’ve to know what you want to publish and what you want your readers to hear from you.
If you could make it big here on the medium it’ll be easy for you to build an additional income stream which most people are looking for especially in these Covid times. It’ll allow you to have adequate financial stability and you will be in a better position to spend your time.
2- Go for the big shot.
Our fellow writer Sinem Günel believes that one does not aim for the small target rather go for the glory. So, even if you didn’t get the gold you’ll fall somewhere in between but above the ordinary for sure.
You’ve to take it long and don’t expect results overnight. You may have to spend days and nights where you have to put extra effort but believe me it’s worth it.
Senior Writers suggest that at least we should actively present for a year on the medium and post around 200 posts to analyze the one's performance at the forum.
3- Money=Quality or Money=Quantity
People carry different opinions on this subject, few like to just hit the keyboard and produce tons of articles. On contrary, there are few who would like to produce low amounts of content like 1 article a week. Both factions have their justifications for doing it and we respect both of them.
But questions arise why are you here? If you’re looking to earn money straight away, it may hold you back from going too long, but if you accept the reality that you’ll improve with time and acquainted with the forum then it’ll be easy for you.
You must try to produce content valuable for the readers, else everything is available on google. Readers want your voice and your opinion about the subject. Therefore, go for the true words and open your heart and connect to the readers. They’ll surely feel you and follow you for future reads. If you could get into the heart of a reader, it’ll be all for you to do.
4- Medium does not promise you success
Success and failure both work together there are people who succeed and there are people who fail. No one has the surety about how things will be going on this forum.
It’ll depend on many factors which are not in your control. I knew successful writers who often complained that their best articles did perform well on the medium.
It all depends on the medium algorithm and the taste of the readers, if they don’t want to read your content you can't do anything.
Therefore whoever plans to jump here must consider that it isn’t a win-win for everyone. You might be leaving this forum after one or two years without reaching the success you were looking for.
5- Your relationship with readers
Eye contact in physical meetings is something that people like to focus upon. But in the article writing on medium, you don't have this option, so you’ve to choose words that connect you with the readers.
It's true that people would like to read which you write from the heart. You’ve to sit down and write fairly about the matter and provide your readers with the true belief and true outcomes which you think is the best for them.
