Here’s How Much Money I Made In January as a Friend of Medium

My January earnings and other stats.

Okay, I’m going to keep this one short because I don’t have a lot of time to write right now. I just can’t wait to share my stats with you, so I’m doing it anyway. I’ll be sharing more insights about how I achieved these numbers in another article.

Let me start by saying that December was my best month so far, I made over $800 here. This is a lot, especially since it was my second month in here. In November I barely earned anything because I only found out by the end of November how to start earning.

In January I earned ‘only’ more than $500 (see the exact numbers below). But I must say that I did post way more articles in December so I worked harder for it and it shows. Due to personal circumstances I couldn’t write as much in January.

So here are my stats. I’ll let the images do the talking from here (all screenshots by me).

So that was it guys. Hope you benefit from it. One thing that I would like to add is that it really amazed me that while I did earn more money in December than in January, I didn’t get a lot more views. I don’t know why, but there’s probably a good explanation for it which I’m not aware of.
