My October Earnings
How I doubled my monthly earnings

The month has ended, and it is time to reveal my monthly earnings from October, as I promised in my last update. The total amount is $23.88.

I still remember the first time I started writing at the beginning of August. However, I didn’t take it very seriously. Below is a more detailed breakdown of my journey so far.

Key Takeaways
- Even though I published 26 articles in September and August, these articles still earned me $5.80 in October, which completely pays for the Medium subscription entirely. The best part, It was 100% passive. Hmm… I wonder what would happen if I decide to post 100 articles this month.
- 28.2% of my October earnings came from just one article. I will leave the link down below to my story if you would like to read it. This article earned a whopping $6.48, which almost reached the hourly minimum wage of the USA ($7.25).
- It takes me around 1 to 2 hours to write an article on Medium, and I personally use Clockify as a timer in order to easily calculate my hourly wage. The result? I earned an hourly wage of $1.08 in October for a total of 22 hours and 06 minutes invested. However, that was twice the amount compared to September’s hourly wage of $0.41 from 25 hours and 22 minutes.

Final Thoughts
After reading several stories about the probability of Medium dying due to a change in the algorithm and many writers noticing a decline in their views, I’m guessing I might have been slightly affected by it as well.

But am I leaving Medium? Heck no! This is just the beginning, and the reason I love Medium is because of the fact that it provides its writers with a passive method to earn income, a build-in system that helps all its writers to earn their piece of the cake, of course, depending on the amount of effort one decides to put in.
I might try a November challenge; I will reveal how it may go at the end of the month if I decide to give it a try, so stay tuned to know all the details in the next earnings update. I appreciate every one of you for reading my stories, and I’m genuinely grateful for everything. Thanks!
