I Finally Reached the $300 Club on Medium

I never thought this would be possible a month ago!

I checked my earnings this morning, and I reached the $300 monthly club (is there such a thing?) for the first time on Medium. If you told me this was possible a month ago, I would have laughed because I was lucky enough to make $65 for the entire month!

The only difference between last month and this month is that I’m publishing more often, spending more time reading other articles, and I also joined the Friend of Medium program. I’ve never been boosted before, but maybe one day. 😅

Anyway, I just thought I would share this milestone because I never thought this would happen. Under the old system, I was making $10–$14 per month in 2020, and I was publishing on a regular basis.

Will these earnings continue to be steady in the new year, or is it all a mirage that will eventually go away? Only time will tell!

Thank you to everyone that I’ve met here, and I look forward to reading many more articles on Medium.

Author’s Note — Please don’t misinterpret this post as bragging. I know $300 isn’t much in the big scheme of things, but I’m grateful for it. I hope everyone does as much and even more in the months to come!
