Abstract

ers only published once a week, would the quality of their work increase or decrease. I think it will increase enormously. People are different. Some have a lot to say, some not so much. You can’t judge their abilities by the length of the articles they write or the rate at which they produce content.But many people come on this platform to earn money as writers. What about those people who don’t have a lot to say rather a few things now and then. My point is the importance of thoughts, feelings, and ideas should be judged on the thoughts, feelings, and ideas on themselves rather than the regularity with which they are shared.There is power in routine and discipline. People who are punctual reap the benefits one way or the other. People who do more work should and in many cases are paid more. There is nothing wrong in that, I agree.But somehow I can’t get my head around that to grow as a writer, the amount of writing I do has a lot to decide.Thinking, researching and spending time on writing an article is equally important.

maybe those people got the reward for the pain and struggle they put in that single piece.How things get viral, nobody knows for sure. Even people whose posts or videos got viral still don’t have any idea how it went viral. Many writers claim their articles got viral which they thought were rubbish. Many pieces of work which you put your heart and soul just get lost in the noise of “more’.I guess that’s life, that’s the world we live in. Not just the internet but in the real world too. How we get rewarded is not dependent on our choice. We can’t shove down the articles we love in people’s throats.We like what we like. I am not so different. When I read an article seldom do I think that how much effort might have been put into it? You and I might love a piece of writing for the writing itself completely oblivious to how it is written. There are instances when we appreciate hard work, struggle and the amount of time spent to complete a single task. But that is not always.

Medium Is No Different than Any of the Other Platforms

Listen to Me First Before Deciding

Write more, earn more. That is the first and the most common tip all the Medium experts will give you.

Medium and many people on the medium claim that Medium is different, Medium is great. Why? Because there are no ads on Medium. Medium takes money from subscribers and distributes that money between writers.

You can search on medium and google “How to earn money on Medium” or “How to grow the audience on Medium” or anything about Medium. One thing which will be common in all the article is to write more. So at its core Medium algorithm is just like any other social media algorithm like YouTube, Instagram and Facebook.

People who write more earn more, simple. Only 1% of the writers earn more than $100 a month from Medium. These are the writers who write more often on Medium and by more often I mean a lot.

I would say more than 90% of advice to grow on Medium will recommend writing every day on Medium. Sure, there are other aspects to succeed as well as strategy, quality, formatting, and so on. But judging from the emphasis on “more” depicts its due importance.

I have nothing against writers who write full time. People who want to write should be encouraged. I am a writer myself and a platform like Medium is like a blessing for me. But those writers who write full time look forward to earning money.

Many top writers have acquired audience by producing great content at high frequency. That means they write quality stuff quite often (read daily). I always wondered if these writers only published once a week, would the quality of their work increase or decrease. I think it will increase enormously. People are different. Some have a lot to say, some not so much. You can’t judge their abilities by the length of the articles they write or the rate at which they produce content.

But many people come on this platform to earn money as writers. What about those people who don’t have a lot to say rather a few things now and then. My point is the importance of thoughts, feelings, and ideas should be judged on the thoughts, feelings, and ideas on themselves rather than the regularity with which they are shared.

There is power in routine and discipline. People who are punctual reap the benefits one way or the other. People who do more work should and in many cases are paid more. There is nothing wrong in that, I agree.

But somehow I can’t get my head around that to grow as a writer, the amount of writing I do has a lot to decide.

Thinking, researching and spending time on writing an article is equally important. That is also work in itself. How do we recognize that? People who pour their heart and soul in one story after thinking about that for the whole week or month will only get an article’s worth of appreciation.

Is there any effort to gauge effort? Not just the effort which comes in the form of word count. But the bravery required to share your pain, sorrows, failures, successes and lessons of life.

The current technique covers many parts. Many writers who are writing more with quality are doing hard work. Many of them are also recognized by Medium algorithm and their audience.

But that is not the only way people are doing hard work. What about the person who kills his ego, overcomes emotional pain and insecurities about his personal life before hitting the publish button.

All I want to say is that the quantity of the work shouldn’t be the most important yardstick to measure labour.

There are instances when one article, video, post or a song got viral. You might think that maybe those people got the reward for the pain and struggle they put in that single piece.

How things get viral, nobody knows for sure. Even people whose posts or videos got viral still don’t have any idea how it went viral. Many writers claim their articles got viral which they thought were rubbish. Many pieces of work which you put your heart and soul just get lost in the noise of “more’.

I guess that’s life, that’s the world we live in. Not just the internet but in the real world too. How we get rewarded is not dependent on our choice. We can’t shove down the articles we love in people’s throats.

We like what we like. I am not so different. When I read an article seldom do I think that how much effort might have been put into it? You and I might love a piece of writing for the writing itself completely oblivious to how it is written. There are instances when we appreciate hard work, struggle and the amount of time spent to complete a single task. But that is not always. Our liking and appreciation for anything ranging from gadgets, clothes, photographs, and paintings do not depend upon how much time it took to complete them.

We only see the end product, the net result. If it resonates, voila. The amount of time spent by the painter or author on their creation is news until you like the result. If you like it the news adds to the likeability. If not it just remains a piece of information associated with that product, nothing more.

So how do we decide to reward my article? It depends on you, the reader. If you like it my effort is recognized, if you don’t answer for me is maybe another time. No one will bother to look deeply about how difficult it was for me to write this piece.

I guess that’s why people advice to write more often and try different strategies because who knows which work gets curated and which one doesn’t.

We shouldn’t be surprised when we look at the world and think about how it has grown so materialistic. As I said, we all envy the results rather than the process.
