Chapter 1: Celebrating Small Wins

As a newcomer to Medium, each advancement feels like a significant achievement. The first week of September has been particularly thrilling for me, so I’m eager to share my journey with you.

Snapshot of my account statistics

During September, I’ve published eight articles. Thus far, I've garnered a total of 585 views and 334 reads. I’m excited by this level of interaction, as it indicates my work is resonating with a wider audience.

Reflecting back, my initial days on Medium, which began on August 19th, were quite slow. In the first ten days of September, I only recorded 113 reads and earned around $6. This early phase underscored the value of perseverance, and it’s inspiring to witness how rapidly things can improve with dedicated effort.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to my 136 new followers and 7 email subscribers. Your support is incredibly meaningful to me, and I appreciate each and every one of you. A special thanks to Kamal O. Touhami, Martynas, Justina, SWEET.pub, and Mr. Plan? Justina Ki. for allowing me to contribute to their publications.

Engagement statistics from my articles

Financially, this week has been rewarding. I earned $36.48 from 334 reads. It’s remarkable how dedication, consistency, and ongoing learning can yield positive results in such a short span.

Today, I drew inspiration from Bin Jiang's progress report and am eager to see where the upcoming weeks will lead me in terms of both growth and income.
