My Total May Earnings (And Top Stories)

Surprised. Overwhelmed. And thankful. NOTE: If stories about earnings annoy you, this post is not for you.

To this day, I’ve now posted 2 stories about my earnings on Medium thus far. I actually quite enjoy reading posts about other people’s earnings.

It provides me with enhanced insights on what to expect, monetary-wise, on this platform.

My April Earnings My Surprising Earnings 11 Days Into May

Only 10% of Users Make Over $100?

I know that for the majority of us, making money on this platform is not our main goal. But it sure is a nice bonus.

When creating my Medium account, I honestly was not expecting to make much at all.

I remember reading countless posts where being a part of the “one hundred club” or “triple figures club” meant that you were classed as the minority?

Apparently, only 10% of Medium users earn $100 or more every month?

The more earnings posts I read, the more I questioned whether this was true.

Anyway, when I read posts about other people’s earnings, I find this interesting and motivating. And I hope this post does the same for you.

Total May Earnings

Here is a screenshot of my payment for May in USD. Many of you already know that I live in Australia.

Therefore, when converted to AUD…

…The total amount is: $400.64

$288.74 (USD) converted to Australian currency is: $400.64 (AUD)

$400.64 in one month.

CRAZY.

INSANE.

Almost unbelievable.

I stopped tracking my stats and earnings at one point. Therefore, when I logged in to look at my earnings for the month, I was beyond surprised.

I knew I had surpassed the hundred mark, but I wasn’t expecting this to quadruple.

I am so incredibly grateful for all of the… relationships? friendships? writing-ships? I have made on this platform.

Medium really does feel like a great, big and supportive community.

Read, Comment and Engage With Others!

You’ve heard me say this time and time again.

Whilst I am very grateful and surprised by this month’s earnings, I do believe that my commitment to truly reading and engaging with others’ posts, has been a big contributor to this month’s successes.

Writers support writers.

My Top Earning Articles in May

Unsurprisingly, my top-earning articles for the month of May were the same articles that I had pinned for the majority of the time.

1. Join My ‘Read For Read’ Club! Earn More and Connect With Others

2. Does Posting Everyday On Medium Really Matter?

3. I Was Stripped Of My Innocence: Parents, Protect Your Children

4. My April Earnings | And What I Have Learned

5. Three Things Medium Must Change

Well, there you have it!

I have no idea what June will bring. I guess we will find out in 30 days.

In the meantime, I will continue to write, read and engage.

If you made it this far, thank you!
