How I Earned $34.93 Writing 7 Days On Medium
It’s Growing!
Hello My Friends!
Hello amazing people!
Today, I am incredibly excited to share with you my journey of writing consistently for the past seven days on Medium and earning $34.93 from it!
Now, I know that amount might not seem like a lot to some, but for me, it’s a significant achievement, and I am extremely proud of it.
A Little Bit About Me
I started my writing journey on Medium 7 days ago. I have 302 fantastic followers (hello to each one of you!) and 629 views on my stories.
It’s been an exciting week, filled with ups and downs, but I am grateful for every part of it.
Not all of my stories received payment — some earned $0.00, but that’s okay. See my poor ones:
It’s all part of the process, and every story is a learning opportunity.
A Week of Consistency
Last week, I set myself a challenge to write consistently for seven days straight.
It was not easy, but I am thrilled to say that I did it!
I wrote a total of 20 stories until now, and I can honestly say that each one was written with passion and a genuine desire to share my thoughts and experiences with the world.
My Best Story
One story that particularly resonated with my audience was “My August 2023 Goals.”:
I believe it was well-received because it was a transparent and heartfelt account of my aspirations and plans for the month.
It felt amazing to connect with so many people who shared similar goals or were inspired to set their own after reading my story.
Things I Can Buy With That Money
Earning $34.93 might not seem like a lot, but there are quite a few things I can buy with that money:
- A few cups of coffee to fuel my writing sessions.
- A book from my reading list.
- Some fresh flowers to brighten up my workspace.
- A yoga class to help relax and recharge.
- Save it towards my Medium yearly subscription.
Recommend me some options in your comments
I plan to use the money I earned towards paying for part of my Medium yearly subscription, which costs $50, and continue writing consistently for the rest of the year.
How You Can Do It Too
If you are a writer looking to build a consistent writing habit and eventually earn from it, here are some tips that helped me along the way:
Set Realistic Goals
- Start with a manageable goal, like writing for 20 minutes a day or publishing one story a week.
- Gradually increase your targets as you build your writing habit.
Create A Writing Schedule
Plan your writing time and stick to it. Find a time that works for you and make it a non-negotiable part of your day.
When Do You Prefer To Write? If you want, highlight your preferred time to know more about you:
- Early in the morning
- During Lunch Breaks
- Late at Night
Find Your Niche
Identify your area of interest or expertise.
It’s essential to select topics that genuinely interest you and resonate with your audience.
It not only makes the writing process more enjoyable but also makes your stories more engaging.
Your passion for the subject will come through in your writing, which will connect better with your readers.
Additionally, having a niche will help you establish yourself as an authority in that field, making it easier for your audience to trust and follow your advice or opinions.
Engage With The Medium Community
Being an active member of the Medium community or any other writing platform you are using is crucial for your growth as a writer.
Make sure to read and respond to other writers’ stories.
Engage in meaningful conversations by leaving thoughtful comments and feedback.
It’s a great way to build connections with fellow writers, gain inspiration from their work, and also get your work noticed by others.
Moreover, participating in the community will help you understand the trends, what type of content is popular, and how you can improve your own writing.
Be Patient
Building a consistent writing habit and earning from it takes time and effort.
It’s easy to get discouraged when you don’t see immediate results, but it’s important to stay committed to your goals.
Be kind to yourself, and don’t be too hard on yourself if things don’t go as planned.
Remember, every writer faces challenges, and it’s a part of the growth process.
Celebrate small wins, whether it’s getting a positive comment, increasing your followers, or just being able to write consistently.
Over time, your hard work will pay off, and you’ll start seeing the results you desire.
Create Quality Content
Make sure to create high-quality content that is well-researched, well-structured, and free of grammatical errors.
Quality is always better than quantity.
It’s better to write one excellent piece than several mediocre ones.
Your content should provide value to your readers, whether it’s by solving a problem, providing new insights, or entertaining them.
Promote Your Work
Don’t hesitate to promote your work on social media, your own website, or any other platforms that you use.
Sharing your work with a broader audience will increase your visibility and help you grow your following.
Make use of relevant hashtags and engage with other users to increase your reach.
Keep Learning
The world of content creation is always evolving.
Make sure to stay updated with the latest trends, techniques, and tools in your niche.
Participate in webinars, read books, and follow influential writers in your field.
Continuous learning will help you improve your writing skills and stay relevant in your niche.
