How much did I earn in April for having +400 followers on Medium
It’s a long way to success…
This month, I increased my output considerably to 11 articles. Even though I published more articles, my views and earnings haven’t increased in tandem. Some articles hardly get any views at all. And when someone does click on the article, they only stay for 2 seconds.
Enough complaining, let’s look at the stats.

The spike in views beginning on April 17th came from the March earnings report. Last month, my views were higher, totaling 2.124. Most of those views were actually external, so they didn’t affect my earnings too much. I had 812 reads this month which gives a read ratio of 61%. That’s acceptable.

As you can see, most of my income was generated by the income report from March. Only 2 out of the 5 best-earning articles were published this month. The other 3 were written last month. It’s nice to see that compounding effect start but I don’t expect it to continue next month.

- How Bill Hwang Lost $20 Bn in 2 days
- Why China Will Go Into a Recession
- Why is Art the Best Investment?
All of this work resulted in me earning:

This represents a 60% revenue growth compared to last month and a 1600% growth compared to my first month. Decent.

Currently, I am mainly focusing on getting more email subscribers. If you want to write more articles per month, email subscribers are essential in order for well-written articles not to be lost in your sea of content.

Most of the new followers I get are almost worthless. They do “follow for follow”. They follow you but won’t read any of your articles. On top of this, they leave a bad impression because you have so many followers but almost nobody is reading your articles.
Goals
This month I am going to publish 15 articles. I recommend mentioning your goals to friends and family or in an article to motivate you. When you do this, you strive for your goal because you don’t want to come over as a “failure”. (Reference to Steven He).
Write
In order for my earnings and yours to increase, we must write more. Mike Lewis joined the platform 6 months ago and is already making $1700 per month. His magical secret: Write. Success doesn’t come without hard work.
In order to become successful on Medium, you need to publish a lot of well-written articles. When you increase your output, try not to decrease the quality. You can do that by putting in more time in general and by taking a free writing course.
