Chapter 1: A Sweet Surprise

I'm beyond thrilled to share that I've earned $15.64 on Medium in less than 30 days! As I checked my analytics this morning, I couldn't believe my eyes—there it was, a fresh deposit of crispy cents!

Just ten days ago, I reported earning $4.18, which felt like a monumental leap considering my very first article brought in just about 3 cents.

How Earning $4.18 Transformed My Day

And why this boost inspired me rather than discouraged me.

In just 10 days, my earnings climbed to $11.46, averaging over a dollar daily since my last update. For context, I've published two articles during this period:

The Day I “Stopped” My Neighbor's Abuse

Reflecting on how this experience often triggers my anxiety.

The Realities of Motherhood

Exploring the profound changes motherhood has introduced into my life and the peace I've discovered within my new role.

Currently, I'm at 72 followers, a jump of 70 since my first post, suggesting I gained around 2 followers from that initial article.

Now that I've shared those key details, let's discuss my feelings. I'm experiencing a mix of happiness, shock, motivation, and pride. I have an incredible support system, especially my husband, who continuously encourages me as my earnings rise.

Reflecting on my journey, I wish I had discovered Medium years ago. For the last five years, I’ve attempted to share my writing and experiences but often found myself stalling. Finally, with this platform, I can express my thoughts and witness my earnings grow daily.

Writing and earning from it has rekindled passions I had long buried, reminding me of my emotional and physical state when I began this journey. Initially, I sought a form of expression, turning to books for solace. However, when I began to write, I transitioned from escaping my reality to articulating it. This shift allowed me to flourish and share my inner light with others.

This journey has provided me clarity and the vision to pursue writing as a career, exploring ways to share my gift widely.

What’s the takeaway from my experience? If you’re witnessing growth in your audience and earnings, embrace the significance of that success. Beyond the numbers lies a deeper gratitude for every dollar earned. Conversely, if your growth has plateaued, focus on your writing and the reasons behind it.

While many aspire to financial stability, we must consider how that ambition influences our content. I, too, dream of financial independence and a luxurious lifestyle, yet I’ve persisted in my entrepreneurial journey and maintained my 9-to-5.

“A mind once open never closes.” — A Wise Saying

To achieve our goals and earn substantial income, authenticity is key. Avoid merely following trends, as they are fleeting. Your unique voice and message will always resonate.

Remember, there's an audience for everyone. Instead of feeling envious of others’ success, recognize that each of us has a place in this vast world, and we will eventually connect with those who share our vision.

In conclusion, keep writing, keep evolving, and pursue your dreams relentlessly. Share in the comments what you’re most grateful for on your Medium journey. If you found encouragement in this article, give it a clap! Follow my updates as I navigate my first year on Medium. For anyone wishing to support my work, consider treating me to a slice of pizza through 'Buy Me a Coffee.' Every gesture helps fuel my creative endeavors!
