Chapter 1: The Reality of Writing on Medium

Starting as a new author on Medium can feel overwhelming, but I can relate—I’ve only been on the platform for three months. My experience of writing daily for 28 consecutive days has provided me with invaluable insights. This is why it’s crucial for you to pay attention.

The thrill you experienced when you realized you could earn money on Medium, especially after making your first few cents, is exhilarating. However, maintaining that initial excitement over time presents a different challenge altogether.

After joining Medium and reading about seasoned writers who have earned hundreds or even thousands of dollars in just a few months, it’s easy to feel inspired and believe that you can achieve the same. The reality? Yes, you can! But without understanding this key aspect, you might not.

Writing on Medium isn’t a quick path to riches. If you think it is, you might as well exit now because you’ve missed the essence of the platform. Earning $1000 in just two months is no simple feat, and gaining 1000 followers in that time frame is equally challenging—unless you resort to “follow-for-follow” tactics, which you will likely regret later.

To truly benefit from Medium, you must appreciate it for what it genuinely offers. If you don’t, the platform’s algorithm, affectionately referred to as AL by writer Brett Anderson, will challenge you in ways that make you question your abilities.

So, if you think you can simply post some AI-generated content and expect to gain readers, followers, and income, let me save you the trouble—you’ll be wasting your time.

I’m not here to discourage you; I’m here to present the truth. To thrive like the successful writers on Medium, you need to commit. This means dedicating time and effort to the platform. You’ll need to read and engage with other authors, consistently produce high-quality articles, respond to comments, support fellow writers, and monitor your stats.

All of this requires a genuine commitment. Merely going through the motions won’t cut it. However, the bright side is that once you get the hang of it, you will likely surprise yourself with how well you can do.

Now, I’m eager to share essential strategies that can significantly accelerate your growth on Medium. I plan to release my first comprehensive guide on March 1st. These are the insights I wish I had during my initial 30-day writing challenge. Trust me, this is a complete guide!

Consider it an orientation to help you launch your Medium journey more effectively. You don’t have to be a novice writer to gain from this; anyone looking to improve on Medium will find value in it.
