You may need to make some changes

Thousands of people are writing on Medium

Medium writers are often putting out stories about the success they are having on the platform. There are many people who have obviously achieved success with their writing on Medium.

It may sound like they are bragging when they are recounting their stories of success, but they may be trying to help others.

Since there are only around 7% or so of the writers on Medium who are earning even the small amount of $100 a month, it is quite certain that thousands of writers are not seeing success. Many are trying hard and writing consistently without finding the success they desire.

Everyone wants to earn some money. There are some who say they are writing on Medium for fun and enjoyment without any expectations of earning money. They undoubtedly would prefer to earn some money and be compensated for their efforts.

There are stories about people who are earning over $100 a month in their first month after they achieved monetization on Medium. There are people who say they are earning $400 per story. There are some who are receiving hundreds or tens of thousands of views per story. There are some writers who claim that they are earning over $1,000 a month. Some definitely are.

We know that some people are highly successful with Medium so there is hope for all of us who are trying.

What if you write consistently every day of the month without fail? What if you are writing many articles without getting anything curated (chosen for further distribution)? What if your stats remain dismal with less than 100 views or maybe less than ten for most of your stories?

Stats on Medium are a measuring stick to what is happening in your account. We would all like to see better stats and improvement on a regular basis. That does not always happen. Sometimes it takes a LONG time to see success.

What should you do if you cannot see any measurable success after trying hard?

Maybe if your stats will not improve, you might need to make some changes. You might need to change your subject matter. Some people try all types of niches in order to find one that works. If none work, it can be frustrating. Maybe your approach needs to be different, or you need to pick better titles. Maybe you would get more response if you wrote more personal stories. You may need to rework your material before hitting publish. Maybe you should read more and get new ideas. You may need some good luck, and it might be coming.

Someone writing on Medium said he keeps at it because he knows that if he quits, he could have been on the cusp of success. He could miss out if he stops writing. Who knows? No one.

Hopefully, success will come sooner rather than later.
