I’ll earn $10,000 on Medium in 2024: Friend of Medium is crazy
Road 2 10k Week #4

Millions of Medium Users upgraded to Friend of Medium.
Since last Sunday, I’m also a Friend of Medium.
And my growth hasn’t been the same since.
Becoming a Friend of Medium has been one of the best decisions I made.
But my words won’t be able to describe the difference it made.
Rather, take a look for yourself.
Stats Breakdown Week #4

It’s exciting to see that this week has been going surprisingly well.
I noticed something significant with becoming a friend of Medium.
Let’s take a look at the story stats.

In Week #3 I had 311 Views and 174 Reads.
This week, I have 1.2k Views and 777 Reads.
That is an increase of +285.9% in Views and +346.6% in Reads.
Just like last week, more people decided to read my stories.
How did it affect my followers?

As mentioned before my audience is increasing linearly.
In Week #3 I had 163 Followers and 4 E-Mail Subscribers.
This week I have 300 Followers and 11 E-Mail Subscribers.
That is an increase of +84% in Followers and +175% in E-Mail Subs.
This is where being a friend of Medium shines.
It helps you grow an audience faster.
This is all cool, but how did this increase in reads and audience affect my earnings?

The change in my earnings was unexpected.
My earnings were $29.91 on Week #3.
This week my earnings are on a total of $82.08.
That is an increase of +174.42% in Earnings.
I’m happy that my earnings went up.
Yet I expected earnings and reads to be somewhat proportional to each other.
It seems that when becoming a friend of Medium the quality of my reads decreased.
This could have many reasons:
- My writing got worse
- I chose unpopular topics
- More people click to comment but don’t read the actual article
I will keep this development in the back of my mind.
