I don’t like to read this type of content. But yesterday, my colleague said making $100+ on the Medium platform is impossible until you have 100k+ followers.

I disagreed because when I started my medium journey back in December 2021, After consistent content writing, I easily made $2000+ for multiple months until life happened, and I stopped posting any content.

Last month, I started to write on Medium again with the same consistency. I must say it’s not easy, but we can definitely make it.

I used to have 80+ Medium referred members who were bringing almost $200 without writing a single piece of the story.

Money is hard working.

This gentleman, Carl Jeffers, made the following in the first three months. Congratulations!

1st month — $6.20

2nd month — $605.86

3rd month — $2104.44

He worked hard to achieve this goal. Here are the numbers.

1st month — 12 stories

2nd month — 57 stories published

3rd month — 77 stories published

What can we learn from this one?

The number reminds me of when I made $1700+ in my third month. I was not even close to this gentleman regarding content creation.

I published less than 100 articles in the past to achieve this number.

Here are my numbers from my first three months on Medium.
