I Am Quitting Medium

Oh, I had it! I spent three freaking hours writing this article. I only made 35 cents on it. Wow! I am making 10 cents an hour! Yippie! I made just under two dollars this month. This is nothing more than a complete waste of my time!
I am quitting medium! Why did I even sign up for this in the first place?
Woooo! Hold up there!
Nothing happens overnight. Having an article go viral within the first few months usually doesn’t happen. It is like winning the lottery. Very rarely does it transpire.
I was there, and yes, I thought about leaving the platform about five months ago. I then decided to change a few things with my writing and my approaches.
I also look at other content creators, like my favorites on YouTube. None made it big on the platform in the first few months. Everyone has a starting point, and eventually, they improve their craft. This gave me a bit of inspiration to stay with the platform. I looked at their first videos and compared them to the recent ones that they uploaded. One can see progress.
I looked at my work, from the first few stories that I published and the articles that I am posting now. My quality has improved in just 11 months.
The more you write, the more you practice your craft, the better you will become.
What turned into a hobby a year ago for me has now started to become a side business to help me supplement my income. I got there, and so will you. It just takes time and effort. I wish you all the best on your journey with writing and on Medium.
