Chapter 1: The Financial Journey

Every day, I share my writing on Medium, and with each passing month, my earnings continue to grow. While the amounts may not be particularly large, I consistently earn more month after month.

I'm committed to writing and sharing content, not solely for financial gain, but to contribute valuable ideas to the Medium community that can positively impact my readers.

Here are my earnings so far:

Money Earned:

• January — $5.76
• February — $52.07
• March — $56.59
• April — $60.35 (to date)

Although the progress is gradual, it's encouraging to see an upward trend.

Followers Count:

• January — 158
• February — 581
• March — 730
• April — 826

Email Subscribers:

• January — 1
• February — 14
• March — 21
• April — 27

My growth in these numbers reflects my effort to better understand my audience, allowing me to share topics that resonate with them.

Some days, my writing flows easily, while on others, I struggle. I’m learning to embrace this ebb and flow, striving to improve each day.

I value the connections I've made with fellow writers on Medium, which have blossomed into friendships. The feedback I receive is immensely helpful.
