My 5 Top-Earning Articles: What Content Works?

Focus on these characteristics of your article to get more reads.

Everyone constantly researches on, what type of article will earn more. I write about Faith, Enlightenment, Technology, and Writing tips that worked for me.

I would like to present some analysis of the articles that earned me more in these first two months.

Also, I would like to analyze the characteristics of these stories that brought more attention from the readers.

Don’t get demotivated by the first month's earnings — $2 or $5. You can skyrocket this to $100, or $500 in the next couple of months.

Here is the top 5 list.

Analysis.

Let me analyze the reasons for getting a fair revenue, considering I’m a relatively new writer here.

1. Read Percentage.

All these articles have a read percentage above 50% and some of them have a 60–65 % read ratio which implies that it was quite engaging stuff for the readers.

From each article's stats, I tried to improve and use better engagement strategies observing the top writers on Medium.

I have followed some engaging strategies explained here — Want To go Viral? Top-Writer Tips You Must Follow

2. Content length.

Initial days, I was writing content of length 2–3 min duration. Later I researched the influence of content length in the read revenue.

I started to write articles with a reading time of 3–5 min.

It helped me to get more reading time — which significantly improved my earning.

3. Topic Selection.

From the title to the content, the topic should be valuable to the reader. It can be an emotional/productivity/technical problem. If the writer can explain with personal experiences it adds more value. It will connect with the readers better.

4. Engaging with the right audience.

When you publish an article on a specific topic, you should try to engage with people who are interested in that kind of topic.

Presenting in front of a different audience might not give you the traction that you wanted.

5. Get it published in Publications.

Write consistently and submit to popular publications as drafts (Gives more traction when it gets published directly through a publication).

Earning

You can see here, these top 5 articles alone helped to earn $20 roughly. And I have around 30+ articles now. All of them started to earn better compared to the first month's growth.

Now I can realistically aim to get an earning more than $100 by the end of this month.

Other topics that are quickly becoming popular and engaging readers.

Strategies to write consistently for a week.

I took a challenge to write consistently for the last 5 days. It turned out to be a good outcome that garnered a lot of views/reads in this first week of February.

Here is the View-Read graph for the first week.
