How Much Medium Paid Me in 2021

Let’s find out!

I started my journey on Medium in November 2021 as a reader without knowing it’s possible to write or monetize. I shared my reading habits with my colleagues, family, and friends; they loved my strategies, I thought I should share mine on Linkedin or any writing platform.

I have been reading stories on Medium for more than 2–3 years; however, I published my first story in Nov 2021. Then I completely forgot until Dec. I literally started writing on Medium in Dec to share my expertise. I love to write about productivity, mental wellness, self-improvement, finance, and emerging technology.

I was accepted into the Medium partner program on Dec 9th, 2021. Technically my first day to earn some money started on Dec 10th, 2021.

Here is the money I made in 20 days on Medium. I was not consistent in sharing stories. Technically I made $27.44 in 20 days without consistency. Now I am more consistent and taking part in the Medium partner program. Here is the screenshot from the dashboard.

As you can see I have to pay 30% tax. I did not know that Canada signed a treaty with the USA government. After that, I updated my tax information to be eligible for 0% tax withholding.

In my first month, or I would say my first 20 days at Medium, I made $27.44, which is not bad because I literally did not know that it was possible to monetize in such a short period.

Now I am more active on the platform and producing 1–2 stories daily by not spending more than 2 hours, including commenting, highlighting, and clapping other great writers. All you have to do is stay consistent! Medium is a great platform to learn and earn.

Key takeaways

I know it’s my 2nd month on Medium, I did not even make $100, but I can foresee the gain.

Stay consistent
Write at least 1–2 stories every day
there is no shortcut to success except hard work
Try to help people as much as you can by sharing what you know

Here is a great article I wrote a couple of days ago about getting genuine 250+ followers in a month. You can see my follower’s list in my second month is 431 (at the time of writing this story) and growing rapidly.
