Medium Partner Payments just came out — I made 37% less!

Ouch! I just got the email showing how much I made for June and it was a whopping 37% less than I made the previous month.

What the heck happened?

Keep reading to learn about my huge income drop, my thoughts on this, the changes I’m making, and more.

Why did my Medium Partner Program income drop?

Is it because summers are slow?

Did I publish a shockingly low amount of Medium stories?

The truth is, this is my first summer on Medium where I’m making a nice part-time/full-time income, depending on where you live.

I have nothing to compare this summer's income to.

Maybe, summers are just slow, who knows?

I’ve been making a full-time income on Medium for 6 Months — Here’s what I’ve learned

Late last year I returned to Medium after taking a break. I decided to take things seriously and really see how far I…

I mean, it makes sense.

During travel and vacation times, people are online less. They’re out living life, having fun with their friends and family, enjoying their vacation, etc.

It’s the summer slump and it’s common across many industries.

I published around the same number of stories I do every month.

In May I published 20 stories on Medium and in June I published 24.

So, maybe it is due to summer or maybe my content just wasn’t popping last month.

How do I feel about all this?

You can’t stress out too much about stuff like this.

Income dips can happen.

That’s why multiple income streams are so important.

How to build wealth with micro income streams

I used to follow this blogger name Matthew, a while back. He had a digital marketing blog and he’d write some really…

I have about 6–7 income streams and hope to build out another 2–3 before summer ends.

In addition to a drop in my Medium income, I also made less money in brand deals and less money from my social media work. So, it’s a down month overall, period.

If you want to read about my income reports that I put out once a month for paid members of my Substack, click here to join as a paid Substack member.

But, I’m still making a good monthly income, I think.

And, I earn way more than I did when I worked a 9-to-5 job in my twenties.

How much did I make?

About $1,000 less than the previous month.

$1,736.37

What will I change for July 2022?

The only thing I can think of is to publish more stories on Medium.

More stories do not necessarily mean more income but, it does give you more chances to get a viral story out there. And more opportunities to connect with more readers, and grow your following and email list.

And, it’s possible you could earn more from 50 stories published than 25 stories for the month.

So, I’m going to give it a try.

No hard goals on how many stories I want to publish.

I’m going to go with the flow and just aim for writing at least 4–5 stories a day and publish around 2–3, if possible.

To accomplish this I’ll need to do a lot of batch creation. I have a bunch of drafts ready in my Medium dashboard that I can pull from and start writing up.

And, I have some series’ in mind that I’d love to share with the Medium community so I’ll pull from those ideas to write more content, too.

TL;DR

Medium paid me way less from MPP for last month.

I plan to put more time and effort in this month to make up for the income dip and hopefully I’ll rebound in July.
