How Do I Earn $5 A Day Every Day During My 2nd Week in the Partner Program?

I think I made a very good start myself. When I started writing on the platform, I did not think that I had a chance to earn money for the first 2 months. The first 0.10 cent I earned when I was accepted into the Medium partner program was a motivation for me. We all look at the profiles of other writers and the 10k followers I saw in them and the 30k followers intimidated me. I had the idea that to earn $5–8 a day, I had to have at least 5,000 followers.

But that changed very quickly !!!!!!!

Even if I start with very small gains, what will I see when I wake up one morning? I earned $3 from an article !! $10 the next day, then $15. I want to correct it so that it is not wrong, my total earnings are $ 15 right now. But I’ll probably make more than $5 tomorrow because my reads and views are higher than yesterday.

Author’s statistics

I will state how much profit tomorrow will make in my next article because an article I wrote had a huge impact on my other articles.

And in fact, I leave a link here for those who want to see this article. I believe it will be a morale booster for you because I think one of the biggest reasons why this article was successful was that I could touch on a simple but important subject.

So how did this happen, how did I get such an income in my 2nd week? Let’s take a look at my strategy.

What topics do you know about?

You can’t write about something you don’t know. Even if you write, it will stay in the air. We need to focus on what we are good at. Based on my experiences and knowledge, I write articles about psychology, personal development and relationships. But I’m not equipped to go out and write a post about politics. So let’s define our boundaries first.

Read at least 3 separate articles on the topic you will write

To prepare this article, I read 6 different articles and tried to do the best I could by adding what I learned to the article.

In this way, I was able to express my thoughts much better, and I get a reward for it. This post brings in $0.8 per day. Of course, I am at the beginner level, but with the increase in the number of followers, these readings will increase.

Good publication selection

What I mean by good here is not having a lot of followers. Every publication here is very valuable and important because there is a lot of effort. But each publication has a different audience, so be careful to share whichever of your posts fits the content more. I am currently writing articles in 6 different publications. If you want to take a look, I leave their names below, and I also thank them for giving me such an opportunity.

Illumination, Curious, Hello- Love, Checkmate

Write nonstop. Success takes effort

I set myself goals. Here you can see my goals. But the more writing, the more money. Share your posts regularly so that your followers can follow you. I try to write 1–3 articles a day. And the income of these articles is increasing cumulatively.

Enjoy writing, don’t just produce content for money

Finally, be willing to write, it was my childhood dream and the joy of finally being able to transfer my thoughts and ideas to a community is more valuable to me than money. For this reason, I am sure that I will be more successful and one day I will be a well-known writer on this platform.

Create your own environment, write your own ideas clearly, love and share your love, be natural, be yourself, and don’t be discouraged, the rest will be very good for all of us.

THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF OUR ADVENTURE !!
