Hey everyone, I’m Dr. Ramesh Chaurasiya! If you aren’t familiar with me yet, I write about health topics, practical tips, and inspiring stories.

Here are my stats and earnings for the first month (June).
I published a total of 16 articles and gained 123 new followers, accumulating around 1,700 views.
My earnings from my first month on Medium were $26.04!
It may not be a massive amount, but to me, it exceeded my expectations. It was my first earning online, and it felt very special.
Let’s look at my stats and earnings for the second month (July).
In my second month on Medium, I published a total of 10 articles, which helped me gain 108 new followers and accumulate around 1,508 views.
My earnings from my second month on Medium were $26.76!
It was almost the same amount I earned in the first month.

And the total earnings for my third month on Medium were… drumroll, please… $435.10!
