I will make a Medium Tattoo. When?
And I know that “Where?” would be a lot funnier question, you kinky little bastards! 😂
And what are you doing with those dreadlocks, young man? 👵😂 — — — Photo by Jayson Hinrichsen on Unsplash
Hello, my internet friends! 👋
So as few of you might noticed, recently I have completed my previous Medium challenge of:
Which will come first:
Will I create 100 Medium stories
— OR —
Will I earn $100 from the Medium Partner Program?
If you want to know the outcome of it, I will leave the link at the bottom of this article. Or if you’re lazy like a three-toed sloth click here. 🦥😂
Life is full of challenges these days. And I feel that leaving my Medium journey without one would be a huge and critical mistake. 🤦🏻♂️
I even got a suggestion by R. A. Younes in one of the comments:
Thanks for the suggestion! :)
Thanks for the idea but I think it would be kinda boring and I think it would take me years if not centuries to write those 1000 Medium stories. 👴🏻
So I came up with a more interesting idea, in my opinion.
Dear Mediumers, read and mark my words:
If I will ever reach my next goal I promise that I will make a tattoo with a Medium logo! 😱
That’s it. Plain and simple.
Ever since I came back to Medium, I’ve been just loving it (having “time well spent”, Mr. Tony Stubblebine 😂).
I’m becoming more and more addicted to the platform, so I think this deal is fair enough. 🤝🏻
Where?
Well, hold your horses! 🐴
Don’t let your imagination run too wild! 😅
I’m pretty sure I will make it here:
Incredible GIF mock-up by the author ✨
Why here? Because I write my articles with those two little bony hands, and without a doubt one of them deserves a Medium tattoo. 🖤
Just like in this song by Ben Harper:
I can change the world, with my own two hands
Make a better place, with my own two hands
Make a kinder place, oh with my, oh with my own two hands
With my own, with my own two hands
With my own, with my own two hands
When?
Well for such a live-shacking event I have to raise the bar quite high. 📈
I came up with this statement:
When my earnings from the Medium Partner Program will reach at least $3000 for at least 3 months in a row.
Why 3 months in a row? Because I want to prove that it’s possible to earn a significant amount of money constantly on Medium. With this challenge, I don’t want to be trapped in a short-term success which my inevitable upcoming Medium Boosts will bring. 🚀😁
Why $3000? Well… Because it’s such a nice-looking number and tattoos are expensive as hell in these record inflationary times. 🤪 Also it will mean that I earned ~$100 for ~90 days in a row on average.
Why am I doing this?
As I said before I’m doing this because it’s always great to have challenges.
I will have to do my absolute best to reach that goal. 💪
But that’s not the only reason. 💡
I want to prove to the world and to myself that it is possible to succeed even if you start everything in 2023, 2024, 2025… Even when you start from ground zero, just like I did. 🥇
This challenge is gonna be a tough one, so along the road I will definitely need your help! 🙌
So… Dear Reader, if you don’t want to miss out any updates on this tattoo “project”, receive useful tips about Medium, and constantly have “time well spent”, click here to follow me in the best ways possible. 🤝🏻
Thank you very much! 🙏
And now… Let’s finish in style! I’m leaving you with this masterpiece by Frank Sinatra:
So, wish me luck! 🍀
And don’t forget to have a wonderful week, amigos! 👨🌾
By doing this, you will get an email once I publish a new, meaningful, and valuable story.
That’s it! Thank you! 🙏
If you did those two clicks, it’s quite possible that one pixel of tattoo already appeared on my hand. 😅
What I want to emphasize is that you will get only those stories that I believe have some sort of deeper value. In other words, quick how-to stories (for ex. How to Submit Your Story to a Publication?) will NOT be sent to my subscribers. 💎
