Thank You, Medium for Another $500 Bonus
I’m grateful for your generous support
I just checked my Medium Partner earnings and found I received another $500 from Medium. No official e-mail from Medium yet. But I suppose it will arrive shortly.
I’m so grateful my work and my accomplishments have been recognized. I worked especially hard this month and gave my best to produce engaging content.
The bonus amounts I’ve received, though, haven’t been consistent from April to June. In April I got $500; in May it was $100; and this month, with a combination of luck and hard work, I got $500 again. It’s time to celebrate with a bottle of champagne! It’s a huge moment of joy for me, as I’ve never been paid so much for my writing.
It wasn’t just the magic luck of the algorithm that helped me get this bonus — I worked hard by producing content that drives engagement. I was able to beat bad luck with hard work and consistency. And I’m thrilled to see that my efforts have not been wasteful.
As far as earnings, this month has also been particularly favorable one for me — one of the articles I wrote months ago suddenly took off and became viral (you can read about it in this article). That one article accounted for over half of my earnings this month. But even then, I believe I would’ve still received the bonus as I published many articles this month.
I believe in saying you reap what you sow. I reaped the benefits through hard work, dedication, and commitment. It’s a rewarding feeling when your expectations and what you think your work is worth match the reality.
Again, I’m grateful to Medium for extending their generous bonuses to writers who struggle to make money from writing. After heavy rain it’s always nice to see sunshine. And I hope, as we go forward, Medium will continue to reward writers who strive to do their best in keeping this platform a thriving place.
