Summary Stats

I took a hyperbolic stats-based approach, inspired by many other writers on Medium.

Here’s what my “sheet” looked like:

Author’s Medium Performance Worksheet Mar 2024

Medium Stories published: 29 (vs. goal 31)

Views: 1.2K (vs. goal 1200 –> 40/story)

Reads: 486 (v. goal 600 -> 50%)

Earnings: $44.58 (vs. $38.23 -> beat Feb earnings)

Followers: +60 MoM (vs. 183 MoM)

Retrospection

Author’s stats performance trends Mar 2024

Considering the great Medium purge in early March and most reporting reduced traffic/earnings, I’m happy with the outcome!

My follower count slowed considerably (I lost about 42 followers to the purge)

I had to take a break from Medium for 9 days due to work travel and had limited time to engage on Medium. I wrote up drafts beforehand, which I could publish to keep a cadence.

I noticed a trend of reduced Earnings per Read (EPR) — on many days (where I was not active), EPR was under 1c per read.

I am my benchmark MoM — so this avoids any comparative disappointment!

Looking forward to another enjoyable month and stronger community engagement!

Bonus Reference

I find that Medium meta content seems to earn the highest — for example, I started a series on great Medium writing, which tends to get up to $1.5 per read on the first day.

While I intended to promote my friends on Medium, it is interesting that these are highly valued (cc: Carl Jeffers — you were considering doing this). The latest from that series is here:
