You have to stay until the payoff

I recently published my 300th story, and I’m approaching 1.3K followers after 2–1/2 years on Medium. I broke $200 once but have earned money each month — sometimes a lot, sometimes a little.

Medium is like riding a rollercoaster. You’re on top, and then it’s downhill. The algorithm changes and never tells us how or why. Reads go up, down, flatline. It seems like all we can do is hang on and enjoy the ride — that is the most important thing: enjoying the ride.

I stick it out because I love to write, and Medium is the only place where my writing can be seen by thousands, if not millions. I can create my own work while exploring, discovering, and learning from others. It’s a long game; we only win by staying in until the big payoff.
