Holy Shit, We Are Writers! LOL!
Congratulations to us all! — Wanna pump you up! Let’s hit it!
Ok, here we go!
I started this Medium ride to make money.
But I found something more valuable. People.
My day started at 8 AM, and for 5 hours I have followed, been reading, clapping, and commenting on our partner’s work. Medium writers are so talented!
I got an email, “When Obama became president, I cried. No sobbed. A black president.” has 100 fans. So exciting! My article had 110 fans. Yay!

So I opened each person’s (fan’s) who read this story, opened their Medium, and proceeded to follow, read, clapped, and highlight or comment.
Whew, right? Most of them were newbies with only a few followers. I just wanted to give them a warm sweet Medium welcome.
I do this every day. If there are tons of people it may take a while. A good problem to have. When doing this many of my comments are brief, but they will know when they open their email and see that someone is out there reading their stuff, it will encourage them.
Here are two of them that I did today.
I just welcomed S Saleha who has 136 Followers, gave the 50 claps on 2 pieces and commented on each one.
Another one, Our Souls in Words. 60 followers. Feel free to welcome them both.
Can you actually make money on medium?
I started on Medium in January 2021 because my son was writing on Medium, so I wanted to support him by reading as much of his stuff as possible.
I had written some stuff for before but didn’t even think of writing for Medium.

Then I decided to try. With the Medium Partner Program, I could start earning money. So I thought, what the heck, and wrote one.
Writing about different topics was what I did. I started to connect with writers and readers from all walks of life.
Now it’s a full-time gig.
Optimizing for Medium in a Nutshell
- Use a great image.
- Share on Facebook, Twitter, and anywhere you can.
- Use Medium publications for more exposure.
- Kill underperforming posts and bring them back. Redo them.
- Follow people who like your posts.
- Post regularly.
Follow, follow, follow... — Read, read, read… — Clap your ass off! — and highlight or comment like crazy.
Enjoy this process and just go for it!
Guys and gals, life is a stepping stone.
When I grow up, I think I’ll be a writer. Oh shit, I am.
I never imagined! We were in a cocoon and look at us now. So get excited!!!!!!!!
So what do you need to do? A quick review. Read, Read, Read …Clap, Clap, Clap…, Follow, Follow, Follow… Comment for as many writers as you can and YOUR Medium will grow!
Most of all write!
It’s a full-time gig if you want full-time money!
Write every day and publish every day if you can.
