My Earnings For March After Writing 16 Articles In 31 Days
Lessons learned from writing on Medium
I wrote just 16 articles on Medium last month. Each article took about one hour and some a bit longer. That means I averaged writing an article every few days.
This month I aim to write 2 or 3 articles a day to increase my earnings. However, what I have noticed is that the amount of articles that I write does not appear to make a big difference in my earnings. Consider the fact that I wrote 22 articles last month, and made $29.
This month, I wrote 6 fewer articles and earned more money. My takeaway is that the type of articles I wrote drew more readers this month. My top earning reads were about my earnings report for February, getting followers on Medium, and getting followers on Tiktok. Because I wrote so little, it is hard for me to see which niches are the most popular for getting read on Medium.
This month I hope to write 30 articles. But since I read a lot of article articles on Medium, it seems to be that the “Make Money” niche on Medium gets lots of readers.
This article didn’t get many readers, but I enjoyed writing it.
Some say that one should develop a niche and stick to the same topic or two. That seems like a good strategy and I may consider that. Right now, I choose to write about things that interest me.
My most popular article was about my earnings report for February with a total of 707 views and 236 reads.
People love to read earnings reports and I hope other Medium writers will do the same. It’s a great way to share knowledge and motivate everyone.
Another tip is to publish most of your stories at the beginning or middle of the month. Don’t leave everything to the last minute, which I do sometimes.
To date, I have published a total of 89 articles since coming to Medium last November. I have noticed that my earnings have fluctuated up and down, and with more of my earnings happening when I wrote fewer articles. I am not complaining -it’s just the way it is. I write best in the mornings, so if you want to write more, choose the best times to write. I tried writing at night and for some reason, fewer words were typed.
My earnings report for March was $42.54, with 2 referrals.
I love writing on Medium and even if some months my earnings go up and down, there is the joy of writing — and that’s priceless.
