Everything is possible in Medium
You never know when life will smile at you. You never know how your article will become viral and wipe off your painful times. When you refresh the stats page once you wake up, you never know when will you scream by seeing an unimaginable spike on your numbers. Everything is possible in Medium. It is not about bragging. This sharing is to inspire my fellow writers who want to earn good money in the medium.
This is my third month of writing in the medium, my first month earning was 28$, the second month was 57$, this month it could be around 2500$.
BIG thanks to this article, which has made more money and more importantly make me write more and more articles. I am not a “Daily” writer before this has happened and now I am trying to become a daily writer and try to learn more and more about writing.
When I wrote the viral article, I dint know its gonna be a viral one. I didn't know I would get more responses. All I wanted is to share my struggles and how I overcame that using daily habits. If you are an employee and if you are out of job for a while you can feel the pain of it. Rewind back to 2008/9, during recession how many of us lost the job? I have seen that horrible period of life. I still remember I did not have a 100Rupees(less than 2USD) then to recharge my prepaid mobile. My incoming was cut off and I could not attend a telephonic interview. Life was pathetic then. I have overcome that by developing the daily habits and stick to it, this was the content of the viral article, which I believe many of the readers can resonate with their life.
Gratitude:
I have not achieved anything lifechanging and please do not take this as advice. My whole point of this article is “You never know when your article becomes viral and earn more money than you could imagine”. After all, Life is about believing right? Let us believe in our writing and travel together on this wonderful platform.
Thank You Medium, from the bottom of my heart.
Thanks to my colleague Michael Favila, who introduces Medium to me and keep supporting me on my writing journey.
I am grateful and happy to be part of the facebook groups(Medium Magic, Poets of Medium(❤), Medium Dreamers, Medium Writers Lounge — to name a few), they are the real motivators on my day to day writing life at Medium. Thanks for the partnered pen publication owners who have accepted me as a writer/editor on their publication.
Conclusion
Medium is a blessing for writers, you could be writing about your viral article earnings soon, I always believe in” What you think, you become”, I believed in my writing and it has paid off now.
Wish you a wonderful writing career ahead in Medium and great days ahead with loads of blessing & love😃
