This is My Last Earnings Report and an Announcement

For the month of February, of course.

Just want to get your attention as I do have something to announce towards the end.

But let's kick off with the earnings.

Before that.

A short story of how I got started and why I chose Medium.

I started writing on Medium 3 months ago, and even though I didn’t know what I was doing. I still did it anyway.

But, like you or anyone who wants to earn an income from writing. The only way out is to start somewhere and there are dozens of platforms out there.

Why Did I Choose Medium?

  1. The barrier to entry is low, yet the income or ROI that is attached to it is undeniable.
  2. There is no one there to tell you what or when to write. You build from scratch.
  3. Learn as you go and get paid for doing so.

First, I need to convince you to read until here, and then I can tell you who I am and what I did.

Now does that sound like something you want to do every day?

If not, just move on to the next product because you’re not ready yet.

For those, who want to know more about Medium and how to make an income from it, just keep reading.

Medium is just a platform, a tool, or you can view it as a game.

A Game of Life, A Life of Games.

Medium is no different. I may not be able to improve your writing skills.

But I’ll share some light when times are dark. Because it was very dark for the 1st Month on Medium, I made just enough to pay for the membership. (and yes, you do need to pay for a membership to join the paywall of getting paid per article)

How I grow on Medium is how you see me grow.

Hi, my name is Bin Jiang. I have just earned my 1st $1,000 per Month on Medium Feb. 2024.

So I do know a thing or two about growth and progress.

I do not have any client work to show you, but my result is down below:

Showing this might be too shiny but some people need just it.

The Tips and Tricks that fit your growth strategy.

This is free, forever. (Limited 200 is to give back to the community)

All content created here will then be repacked and sold on Gumroad.

Maybe I just lost 200 in sales, but the learning doesn’t stop.

If you want to pay me, that’s fine, remember it is set at monthly.

This will be run as a newsletter model but with a notion format. (the ongoing file)

And that’s My first digital product pitch.

How was it?

Guess What?

After a month of delaying it, I’m launching My Newsletter on Gumroad. Yes, you heard it right: a newsletter on Gumroad. (they call it membership)

The structure will be a notion file feel but the model will be a newsletter output, but it will be a combination of both. (will be updating it weekly at least)

Here is the link below, and it is Free Forever for the 1st 200 members.

The 1st one is my test account for user experience purposes.

P.S.

I have already shown you the earnings in the last 10 days, so relax a bit and read the earnings of others for tips and growth inspiration.

This will help me get going with the newsletter and email list and would least likely affect my work on Medium. I do things in batches remember?

Update every weekend or whenever I can. (this is not just a newsletter but a free membership attached to it)

Anyways thanks for reading and your support.

Tagging the writers that newly joined the Pub, Welcome.

Yes, I’m going to get more people to join us from Gumroad.
