Today Is My Last Day On Medium
No money and a total waste of time
I have been working on Medium for months but I have not yet reached the $100/month club. I have published dozens of stories but nothing has gone viral. I have been rejected by top publications and don’t know what to do. I will now look for a well-paying client or will start a full-time job because writing on Medium is not worth my time.
These are some of the most common things aspiring writers say to themselves. If you have been struggling to make your first $100 or $1000, you are not alone. The truth is that so many writers, in fact more than 85 percent of writers, working on this site are concerned about their survival. They don’t know what to write, where to go and how to make a living writing.
Today is my last day on Medium.
You should never say this and do the following instead.
Use Online Writing Tools To Improve Your Content
Hemingway Editor and WebFX Flesch-Kincaid Readability Test Tool will not only write you well but also can let you draw more traffic to your content. Getting more views/reads means earning enough money, and this will definitely motivate you to write regularly. I think that Hemingway Editor is far better than Grammarly. You need to copy and paste the content for evaluation or write directly in its text editor to get visual feedback. Text that needs improvement will be highlighted with different colors depending on the issue. You can then fix these issues to make the content readable and flawless.
Digital marketers and SEO experts often use WebFX Flesch-Kincaid Readability Test Tool to boost productivity. You can also use it to see your organic keywords and their specific performance metrics. It will basically help you make the content look better than ever. If you don’t pay attention to different reading levels, the articles may be unintentionally inaccessible to a fair chunk of the audience. Try to improve your reading level and reach up to 8.
Gain Inspiration From Seniors
Tim Denning is one of the best Medium writers. Sinem Günel, Zulie Rane, Tom Kuegler, and Shannon Ashley are all very good. They have published dozens of stories and are making thousands of dollars a month. You can check their posts to gain inspiration. They have shared their life’s stories in a beautiful way. None of them achieved success overnight, and some are even working on Medium from the day the site came into being.
I am also one of those writers who have received a bonus of $500 (Samra). You may join my Facebook group or newsletter for regular tips and updates. The best part is that I am providing support and help without any charges. So basically there are so many writers to speak to. If you have doubts, then you can let your seniors know and request feedback rather than saying goodbye to Medium.
Remember that there is no shortcut to success and that you can be one of the top writers in the coming months.
The idea is to keep working hard and publish stories consistently.
