My experience, earnings, and what I would have done differently. (All data presented.)

I published my very first story on Medium on October 16, 2020.

When I first joined I thought this would be the one thing I stuck with on my journey to financial independence and earning enough that I could finance my dream to be a full-time writer and author.

I read article after article about others who were earning thousands of dollars every month on Medium and they all said that with enough dedication I could achieve that goal as well.

Well, I didn’t because I did the exact opposite of everything those articles told me to do.

No consistency.

No dedication.

Since that first day, I was never able to reach a regularity with my postings, and for some months I barely managed to post at all.

It wasn’t until February of this year that I decided I was going to take my writing on Medium seriously, I was going to post every single day for a month.
