I started writing online 4 years ago, and I never thought I would say this: This was my best decision back then. Writing was not my passion — yes, I always say this. But now, it is helping me pay my bills and earn extra money. It is helping me, as a student, buy essential things I need […]
After writing my post about earning a lot on Medium, it seems that the table has now turned, putting the platform in a negative light. Medium is failing. But why? When 2025 started, it seemed like a bad year for Medium. The writers (the community) are upset about not receiving enough payment for their written […]
Finally! I earned on Medium… It’s a lot, right? Right? Heck, yes and no! Last month, I earned around $166.67 by publishing actively. I am still active today, posting and engaging with other users. But it seems that fate isn’t on my side this month. Or is it the same for everyone? I have been […]
It seems that December was a blast month for me! I was not expecting to earn a lot compared to my previous months of writing. Well, I can’t blame myself. I was productive last month because of the Christmas break, and I managed to focus more on my writing career. I know that this might be […]
I have been writing for 3 years, but I did not realize that I might be missing something in my writing journey. Why? Here’s my writing process: I open my laptop, sit at my desk, and stare at the blank screen. I often experience writer’s block. I don’t know what to do; I don’t know […]
For over 3 years of writing, I have always used Grammarly to edit my content. But now, I use chatGPT. It is a cool tool for every writer. It is a must-have to produce quality and error-free content. My process is just simple. First, I write everything on Microsoft Word or Google Docs, then use their […]
Writing was never my passion. But for nearly 3 years of writing, I learned that writing is a skill that you can learn. It is important to learn — it boosts your creativity, it helps your brain to function well and think clearly. Hence, I will be sharing my secrets on how can I stay motivated in writing […]
As the year ends, we have to go back on track and start your year productively. I did not manage to start the year productively by working or studying immediately, but I don’t feel bad about it. The first two days were still a vacation and a holiday, I even had my last post a […]
It took me years before I applied to Google Adsense. I thought there were many requirements, such as hitting a certain amount of monthly traffic and visitors. But last week, I got curious and searched again—I found out that you can apply the right way! This is a huge achievement for me as a writer […]
I still can’t believe that I earned this amount even after the first week of writing on Medium seriously…I shared some tips to do the same! My first viral story on Medium happened after 1 week of being active on the platform. Also read: My First Week on Medium: I Earned $19.58 and Got 47 Followers […]
As the year ends, I want to give myself some time to reflect and remember what happened this year. I don’t really feel that I achieved a lot compared to previous years, but I want to trace my steps and give myself credit for surviving this year. A lot of things happened and it feels […]
After writing my two viral stories on Medium, I received a lot of comments and emails asking me how to increase their reach on Medium. They are reaching out because they feel that they did what I wrote in my post but are still not getting enough attention from their readers. Here’s my two viral […]
I started writing consistently on Medium, but I want to explore and learn one thing: reading and analyzing my stats. I have been writing for 3 years and there is one thing that I just realized recently — I don’t look much at my stats to analyze what is working and what is not. So, […]
My first week on Medium was a blast! I started writing on Medium since 2021 – but I was never an active user. I just read for free and just checking new ideas on what should I write, and not even posting any story. This month, I decided to give Medium a try. I paid […]
It is quite ironic that I am writing this because I recently published a post about writer’s block where I mentioned and discussed how to overcome it. But here I am right now talking about the guilt of not writing because I just don’t feel like writing today and so I still try to compensate for the […]
The struggle is real, I know—many new writers didn’t make it to success in blogging because of inconsistency. I joined several writing communities and met new people in blogging, and after months of being active, they would disappear and never continue writing. It is because they do not have a writing schedule, they are inconsistent […]
I feel dumb when I stare at the blank page and my hands are not typing – does it sound familiar? Most writers experience the same, writer’s block is common for us. I don’t remember how many times I experienced this. But after almost 4 years of writing, I found out which and what are […]
I never really focused on writing a good blog title for my posts – I think a short and simple title, but I was not considering it before to get more traffic from my readers. But after 3 years of writing, here is what I learned: Your blog title matters – and you should take it seriously. […]
It is a bit hard to start writing when you are still a beginner. I get you, if you are a new writer on Medium, I know that it is hard to start. You have a lot of questions… “What should I write” “People might not read my post” But I will tell you, all […]
Are you writing on Medium but not getting any traffic and visitors? Maybe you are not doing the basics of Medium profile optimization. A perfectly-looking Medium profile can easily boost your traffic and increase your visitors once you take it seriously. Do you think people are just looking for your content? They also check your profile and […]
