Summary

Kristina God shares her experience and insights on earning $2,000 per month through consistent writing and publishing on Medium, emphasizing the importance of quantity and regularity over viral success.

Abstract

Kristina God, a seasoned writer on Medium, debunks the myth of earning substantial income from a single monthly article. She emphasizes the necessity of consistent effort, noting that her own success is a result of publishing over 1,000 pieces in eleven months. While acknowledging that some writers may bring in their own audience, she stresses that most start from zero and need to build a substantial library of content to see significant earnings. God credits Medium's algorithm for favoring quantity, which sometimes surpasses the importance of content quality, and she advises new writers to publish frequently to gain visibility and increase revenue. Her approach has led to monthly earnings of $1,000+, Top Writer status in multiple categories, and a large readership.

Opinions

  • Earning money through online writing is not a quick or easy process; it requires hard work and consistent publishing.
  • The idea of writing one article per month and earning $2,000 is misleading, especially for new writers without an established audience.
  • Medium's algorithm may favor the quantity of articles over the quality, which can help writers gain visibility and earnings.
  • Building a library of published content is crucial for sustained earnings, as past articles continue to contribute to income.
  • New writers should not be discouraged by success stories but should focus on regular publishing, aiming for at least two to three articles per week.
  • Viral success is risky and not a reliable strategy for earning a stable income from writing.
  • Referring new members to Medium can also be a source of income for writers on the platform.
  • Consistent publishing can lead to significant revenue, Top Writer status, and a broad reader base on Medium.

I Write One Article Every Month And Get $2,000 Easily

Everyone is looking for an easy fast buck, am I right?

I love all those articles claiming they make thousands by only publishing a few times per month.

The writers must think we are all stupid or something.

I guarantee you that their one article per week was not earning $2,000 per month in the beginning.

For sure, there are some writers who brought their own audience from YouTube, Instagram, or Quora but all the others start from scratch.

  • Zero followers.
  • Zero earnings.

Here’s the harsh truth:

Earning money with writing online takes hard consistent work.

You have to publish on a regular basis.

In October 2021, I published around 45 articles. Two-thirds were short form articles since I’m addicted to short form pieces.

I had one long form article which earned around $150 in two weeks and all my other articles (only) made a few bucks meaning $0.15 to $25.

Dear new writers,

It’s not one article per week or month.

Even legend Tim Denning publishes several times per day.

Hoping to write one article and then go viral is just too risky and frustrating.

Library of published content

If you earn $2,000 with one article you probably have a library of published content that boosts your earnings every month.

My earnings are still boosted by the first curated articles about feminism, relationships, and parenting.

All those pennies add up. 😄

If I wouldn’t publish anything, I would still earn around $10 with my library of content — which is two times the membership fee of $5.

Moreover, when a reader becomes a paying member within one month after he has read one of your articles, you earn as well. This can be even $5.

Plus, when you refer a new member, you earn $2 per month too.

1,000+ pieces of content

In my eleven months on Medium, I pumped out 1,000+ pieces so far.

Moreover, my personal belief is that Medium’s algorithm rewards quantity.

It’s all about visibility.

This sometimes even tends to trump quality content.

Final Takeaways

New writers,

Don’t believe everything your read without questioning it.

Don’t get discouraged by all the success stories on Medium.

If you want to be a writer, write!

You don’t need to write 1,000 posts as I did but if you want to build traction on Medium or any other writing platform you might need to publish at least two to three times per week.

This tactic helped me to:

The easy fast buck is just a lie.
