Summary

The author is concerned about the decline in engagement on their Medium articles in the new year and is seeking feedback from other writers to determine if this is a widespread issue or isolated to their experience.

Abstract

The author has set a monthly goal for their Medium writing in the new year and has a history of conducting experiments in their writing journey to find the best strategies. They have previously shared their experiences, including translating articles and completing a 30-day writing challenge, which have provided valuable lessons. However, the author has noticed a significant drop in views and reads on their stories since the start of the new year, which is causing them to question their new strategies and the future of their monthly goal. They are unsure whether Medium itself is experiencing a decline or if the issue is unique to their account. The author is reaching out to the Medium community for insights into whether others are facing similar challenges with their Medium stats.

With the new year, I have taken a new start on Medium. I am trying to give proper time to the Medium, as I have set a monthly goal for the Medium with the new year. The purpose of setting a goal for a Medium is to perform another experiment. I already performed many experiments in my writing journey — only to find out the best and working plan.

Here is the list of my experiments.

Out of this list, the few experiments gave me wonderful lessons which I think you should know, that is why I shared with you people. I have shared my experience of translated article, 30 Days challenge on Medium, and how I succeed to earn $1 from day on Medium. These stories are listed below. You can visit, if you are interested in knowing my experiments.

I Tried to Translate an Article and Guess What Happened Finally, Medium Stories Are Earning More Than $1 for Me. My 30-Day Writing Challenge Taught me 10 Lessons.

So with the New year, I decided to have another experiment on Medium which included the repetition of 30-Days challenge, but with different strategy to get another writing experience.

I was very enthusiastic to start and work on the plan. Now, I am losing my potential after seeing the Medium stats. They went really down, as shared below.

This is making me worried about my plan and every other thing. I do not either I could go longer or quit my new year Medium goal.

I do not know Medium is really going down, or I am the only one who is facing this problem with New year.

Previously, I used to have 50 plus minimum views and reads per story. Now, with the new year instead of going up, I am continuously going down. It is making me skeptical about the Medium.

It is alarming for me, if stats will keep on the same edge. I need to know the condition of your Medium stats. Is it working well or not? So that I can focus on my monthly Medium goal and stop worrying about the stats.

Kindly, share your Medium experience with me, either in the comment section or writing a story about Medium and tag me there.

I look forward to your response.

Thank you for your precious time.
