This is What Happened to My Medium Earnings

February was a month of attending marriages and funerals in my relations.

Because of this I was unable to give time to my medium profile and upworks.

And I was shocked to see this that when I did not write consistently and engaged with my fellow writers, my earnings and count of followers got stuck at where they were previously.

You will get shock to see the screenshots showing below how I just earned only $5 for whole February 2024 month and I got only 54+ followers in whole month.

When I compared my stats with January 2024 and December, I got almost 150+ followers and $105 earnings with 700 views each month.

Though I didn’t do it intentionally to check what happens to my profile but due to my personal circumstances I got to learn that if you aren’t writing consistently and engaging with your fellow writers and readers properly, you cannot earn views and money what you want to earn.

You need to write, engage and be active regularly to your medium profile to gather views and ultimately earnings on medium.

Please share your similar experiences in comments section if anyone felt downfall on medium because of being inactive for long time.

Would love to hear it out from everyone.
