My 2022 Medium Yearly Income

And, plans for 2023!

This is a recap of my performance on Medium, including sharing how much I’ve earned for the year.

While I’ve been on Medium writing off and on since 2016, last year was when I truly started treating this like a business.

When I made that change, my stories started getting more traffic than ever. I was reaching up to 300K monthly views on the platform and earning thousands of dollars.

Today, I still write on Medium nearly every day.

While I’m not writing and publishing 2–3 stories a day like I was last year and earlier in 2022, I am still publishing around 20ish stories every month.

The last few months have been disappointing though, as my views and income has declined. I remain hopeful that I can bounce back.

I’m also pursuing other channels for monetizing my content:

  • Writing ebooks
  • Affiliate marketing

Here’s how my year looked on Medium…

My Medium performance for 2022

First, here’s a look at my follower growth.

I have a little over 26,000 followers, which is big jump from under 100 last year!

I have 144 referred members and that earns me around $300/month or so.

I get referrals by putting a plug at the end of many of my stories on Medium. It looks like this…

“I hope you enjoyed reading this. If you’d like to support me as a writer, consider signing up to become a Medium member. It’s just $5 a month and you get unlimited access to Medium.”

I have over 500 email subscribers :)

From August 2021 until now, December 2022, I’ve grown my email list on Medium to over 500 subscribers, which I’m super thrilled about!

I hope to hit 1,000 subscribers by this time next year, hopefully.

Then, the income…

I made over $30,000 on Medium this year!

For the year, I made over $30,000, which I am so incredibly grateful for.

My lowest month was $887/month and my highest month was around $3,100/month.

If I can stay at $1,000 to $1,500 per month, I’ll be happy!

This is one of two Medium accounts I have.

The other one is not monetized with the Medium Partner Program. I’m not sure how it works having multiple Medium accounts with MPP so I’ll probably just monetize that one entirely with affiliate marketing.

Once I get my strategy down, I’d love to run a few different Medium niche pages.

2023 Plans

Rapidfire-style, here’s what my plan is for 2023….

  • Publish 30+ stories per month
  • Batch-create content more regularly
  • Run 4 Medium niche pages
  • Grow my Medium income to $10K/month (from MPP, affiliate marketing, and selling products)

TL;DR

So, that’s how my year was, here on Medium.

  • Over 26,000 followers
  • 500+ email subscribers
  • 144 referred members
  • $30,000+ income for 2022 from MPP

That’s my year-end recap!
