In September, I wrote a story that went viral and got so much attention. It got so much attention because I promised to help every writer get some extra views.

But the best thing was that I didn’t promise them hundreds or thousands of views. I promise them some easily achievable views that every writer can achieve whether it’s a new writer or an expert writer.

This is the story, you can read it below;

When this story went viral, I got a ton of views and all my story stats increased rapidly. It gave me so many views and helped me earn so much money as a new writer.

It was going well but after some weeks, it started dying. But I didn’t want it to die like this. Because it was a story that helped so many people get some extra views. So, I applied some methods and tried forcing it to get viral again.

And luckily, It got viral again after so many promotions and applying many different methods.

When it went viral again, it started getting so many views and earnings. And successfully completed its first $20 dollars.

After that day, I haven’t tried writing about this story that much. Because it was getting up to 10 quality views every day and earning money for me.

But yesterday, when I saw my stats, I realized that this story has successfully completed earning $40. I was very happy when I saw it because many of my stories don’t make much money.

I know many writers earn $40 in a single day. But I am happy because non of my stories have ever reached $20, but it earned more than $40 and is still earning some money.

I hope this story will keep going on because it helps writers achieve some views.

We will meet again when this story completes its $50 and then $100 and then $200. I hope it never stops and makes new records every month.

Join the Medium membership to support me as a writer and get access to unlimited stories about many topics like finance, entrepreneurship, mental health, fiction, writing, fitness, and many more topics.

I would suggest you join the membership because it’s the most affordable of all the other platforms. Only $5 a month or $50 a year.
