Fire-Up Your Medium Summer Earnings
Add heat to your stats pages.

Are you reading stories of people going viral?
Next, they tell you how many new followers and email subscribers they got. One article changed everything about their earnings and insights.
Some people have cracked the code of this space. The driver of the algorithm is the readers. Are you writing about what pleases them?
Mind you. Articles have a way of dying. Some live on forever at $0.01. Yet, others hold a steady momentum. The rest go high and low, depending on what is an evergreen topic that month.
Many writers come into the $100 Club. Then stay there because of these tips. Are you ready?
Jab the needle.
Success leaves clues. Am I right? Take the hint from your earnings dashboard. It’s fantastic to get plenty of views, but reads matter. Your cash insights serve as a reminder.
You can pin five articles on your page. Pinned stories are your first opportunity to keep your view and read rate decent most days. You can earn yourself 15+ views per day with your top five pinned content.
Why?
- It’s the first thing people see when they visit your page.
- Based on past analytics, these headlines and their formatting can generate income. Thus, placing them at the top of your pages allows them to earn more money.
Your top-earning articles can change as you publish more content in the month. Don’t question it. Go with the flow and update your selection of pinned posts. If it changes too often, pick your all-time best earners. Or change your pinned list 15 days into the month.

What’s in your wallet?
Money drives interest.
When I type “Elon Musk” into the Google search engine, the first suggestion is the “net worth” phrase. People care about what others make. But here is the deal breaker with this strategy:
- Results vary because of your headline.
- Be the first. Volume kills the virality of this content type.
For some writers, writing about money makes them more money. Thus, they create articles of the following styles:
- Earnings for XYZ month or year.
- Income earned for an article with xxx views and xxx reads.
- Writing comments made me more money this month. How much?
- My top earning article for the month of xxx
Have nothing left to say about your MPP stats board? You can talk about how much your other side hustles made. You can rate your side hustle experiences or state which ones you will give most of your time.
“I’ve always dreamed of being a reporter.”
Who is ready to be an opportunist?
Trending news stories are fast money makers. Most people tried their luck with gun stories. Or Johnny Depp and Amber Heard stories.
Every month, the media gifts writers a chance to go viral. You don’t have to go out of your niche. Sculpt the story to provide clout while still staying in your lane.
Are you a relationship writer? The Amber Heard videos provided plenty of opportunities to talk about narcissists and abusive unions.
Are you a side hustle writer? The income reports of other creators give you a chance to make a post. Thus, CNBC is a good news publication to get notifications. Be sure to share love and credit the person.
Stacking the Pennies
