I'll show you how long it took me to reach my first $1,000 and the income levels of Michelle Teheux and Ossiana Tepfenhart - two authors just like you and me.
IMO, If you’re writing quality work, Medium is very much alive. If you’re churning out generic “content,” then the good old days are over.
To me, the CEOs comments on making a full time income were more about resetting expectations than anything else, and a pushback against all the meta articles flooding the platform.
I make an average of $100 a month on Medium and the most I made was close to $400. I am sure if I engaged a lot more I would make more but there are also just so many hours.
I think it's easy to panic when we hear people say that Medium is dead, not worth it these days or something of that kind. It isn't giving me a full-time income I love Medium and I write around my own schedule. Every dollar is very well received.
I am a newbie enjoying learning how to write on both platforms. It's so exciting when I click and see that I have earned a few dollars!
Your Online Writing School is incredible! The value way surpasses the monthly subscription. Both your lessons and the community are invaluable.
I have already proven that if you listen, learn and do the work - you will without a doubt make $$. We are so fortunate to have the input of you and other writers showing us how - thank you.🌺
I’ve been writing on Medium for almost a month now. I honestly haven’t loved the content there nearly as much as the content on Substack as a reader. But maybe I’m struggling with their algorithm to find content I would enjoy! I have just broke even, making $5 so far, but I’m not really in it for the money. Just trying to get some reach and learn the platform right now
I joined Medium in 2023 so wasn't part of the $$$ glory years (they sound amazing though).
My first 6 months were tough but I've gained 5000 followers in the last 6 months and earn $700-800 each month.
The biggest value to me is the newsletter subscribers. I gain 250/month because Medium allows CTAs unlike X or Linkedin. This gives Medium such a great advantage.
Do you have an opinion on sharing your Substack articles on Medium, in order to grow your Substack? The key difference for me is that the reason to join my Substack as a paid member, is for the courses I offer, and for the private podcast I curate, not the writing (which is free).
Any help you can offer is appreciated. Thank you for what you do.
Really needs to be a complete 'menu' on substack just for how-to-get rich on substack articles, I think I have written dozens of posts on this pathetic subject, that just keeps coming up.
IMHO 'internet influencing' is the BITCOIN of social-Media, you invest (time&money/computers/ISP) in it I promise your in a fucking PONZI

I have friends here with around 100 followers, and 1 or 2 paid subscribers they claim their netting about $5/month
I have +1,000 subs and net zero
winning :)
don't quit your day job

Their numbers sound like what I used to earn over there. Nice to see some people still able to earn.
