Chapter 1: My Medium Experience
It's been a month since I joined the Medium Partner Program, and I'm eager to reveal my earnings. Did I hit the $1,000 mark or just make a few bucks? Let’s dive in!
I joined the Partner Program on April 26, and today marks my first full month of monetizing my articles. My goal is to provide realistic expectations for those considering this journey, and perhaps inspire others along the way.
As of now, my follower count stands at 325, with a daily growth of about 2 to 4 new followers. This appears to be a reasonable expectation after consistently writing for one to two months.
In terms of engagement, my stories have amassed nearly 4,000 views. Although my traffic has decreased slightly over the past week due to limited writing time, I started with 20 to 30 views daily, which has now stabilized at around 100 views each day. Progress may be slow, but it's certainly happening! Remember, an article you wrote a month ago might just take off later, so persistence is key.
Section 1.1: Earnings Breakdown
Now, let's delve into the financials.
- From April 26 to April 30, I earned $1.91 over four days.
- From May 1 to May 26, my income rose to $15.53.
In total, my earnings for the month stand at approximately $17. Interestingly, my very first article, published on April 7, brought in $6, accounting for around 35% of my overall revenue.

Closing Thoughts
Reflecting on my initial month, I consider my experience relatively successful. While earning on Medium isn't straightforward, I was determined to give it a shot.
Moving forward, I plan to publish new content nearly every day. My aim for the coming month is to double my income, targeting a consistent $1 per day. I genuinely believe it's feasible to earn between $100 and $300 monthly on Medium, and with daily publishing, I hope to achieve this within the next 3 to 6 months.
Be prepared for gradual growth; substantial earnings won’t happen overnight. Blogging requires time and effort, but the journey can be rewarding in the end. I invite you to share your opinions in the comments!
