Breaking News: Today Marks a Momentous Occasion in My Writing Career!

Next stop: Forbes’ ‘Top Earners Making Cents’ list!

Cue the fanfare, folks! Today marks the chronicle of my triumphs in the writing universe. Brace yourselves for this milestone moment of my financial success on this platform! First drumroll, please… I’m throwing a digital confetti party to commemorate the awe-inspiring success of my latest masterpiece, an exposé on the imminent changes in Counter-Strike!

Picture this: not one, but two readers emerged from the illustrious pool of thousands of readers, sending shockwaves through the financial cosmos by catapulting my earnings to a jaw-dropping 4 cents!

Hold your applause, folks — I’m hurtling towards that six-figure income at warp speed!

But wait! Here’s where it gets cosmic!

Each of my cherished readers pocketed a monumental 2 cents from their journey through my narrative galaxy. It’s like a cosmic lottery of literary riches!

Here I am, pondering the extravagant ways to splurge my four glorious cents, debating whether to buy myself a grand Christmas present fit for a king. Or perhaps I’ve inadvertently time-traveled back to the last century, where these shiny pennies were worth a tad more than a candy bar wrapper! Ah, the joys of dreaming big on a budget that screams ‘retro chic’.

And in a twist that’ll leave you dizzy, not a single one of my esteemed Medium Friends graced my story with their presence — apparently, they’re the mystical harbingers of a fourfold writerly income.

So, in an act of sheer writerly and readerly magnanimity (and maybe a dash of strategic maneuvering), I ascended to the hallowed realm of Medium Friend status.

Behold, my friends, as I voraciously devoured around 50 pieces yesterday and curated them in a collection to delight writers of those beautiful stories.

Let me break it down for you — math has never been this exciting! That’s a whopping 100 cents in my contribution basket, but hang onto your calculators because, as a Medium member, I just multiplied that to a cosmic 400 cents, showering our writers with celestial earnings!

Ah, the glamour, the glitz, the “centsational” thrill of the wordsmith life!

Who needs financial stability when you’re riding the waves of prosperity, stacking up cents like a maestro of the written word? Watch out, Forbes’ ‘Top Earners Making Cents’ list — I’m rocketing toward you at warp speed!”

Let’s give a standing ovation to the unsung hero of my writing saga — the Medium algorithm!

This tireless digital wizardry pulled out all the stops, tirelessly parading my piece in front of 75,290 ILLUMINATION followers, my own esteemed 11,500 followers, and a whopping 1.4 million devout followers of the gaming topic, all to summon forth a grand total of 13 viewers and, hold your breath, two fiercely loyal readers for my extraordinary story.

I mean, here’s a visual representation of how much sweat poor Algo shed to get me those 13 views and 2 readers for my magnum opus

Look how hard this tireless digital wizardry worked to bring me two readers!

But lo and behold! Uncle Google’s algorithm seems to be putting in overtime, giving Medium’s algorithm a run for its digital money!

It’s like a heavyweight championship match in the cyber realm, and guess who comes out victorious? Yours truly, pocketing a whopping $26 from a staggering 24,000 viewers!

Seems like the cyber constellations have aligned in my favor, shining their digital blessings down on this corner of the internet.

Uncle Google, take a bow — you’ve earned your digital gold medal in the Algorithm Olympics!

Internal views from Medium 2% versus external views 98% from Google family.

Hey, The Sturg! Picture this: I’m contemplating the daring leap of faith from ILLUMINATION to your chuckle-inducing Inc. Think about it — could this migration be the secret ingredient to catapult my humble post into the stratosphere of earnings, inching me ever closer to the coveted Forbes’ ‘Top Earners Making Cents’ list?

It’s like sending my words on a grand adventure, a leap into the unknown, hoping they’ll find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow — or at least a pile of cents big enough to make a cash angel in! What do you reckon, The Sturg? Is this the ticket to turning cents into a symphony of financial success?

And my applause and appreciation goes to my only and most loyal reader dear D Geiger, who left a very generous and honoring comment on my exciting story.

Thank you for reading my exciting news today, and I wish you all a joyful festive season.
