How Much Do Medium Writers Make? Here’s What I’ve Earned In 3 Months of Writing

I’m a new Medium writer. I have a lot of life experience and wanted to share what I know with the world. I also thought writing would, 1) clear my head and 2) allow me to earn some passive income simultaneously.

I was right! (or write? haha) It does both!

I knew I wouldn’t become rich overnight and that making money on Medium would actually require me to write stories/articles but I was determined to figure this writing thing out.

In 3 months, I have published 59 articles. I did my best to publish a new article daily in the first 2 months. After that, it has been hard to keep up with that schedule but I try.

Along with writing articles, I’m also making YouTube videos that follow a similar schedule with my posts. I figure, I might as well earn some extra money showing the visual side of things :)

In September and October, I spent 1 to 3 hours writing every day (after my full-time job). There were a lot of 14 hour days. In November, my hours writing have been cut back as I pursue making YouTube videos as well. However, I’m still writing, just not as much.

My Top Performing Articles

My highest earning article is, “The Top 3 Tools I Use to Make $574+ Per Month in Passive Income” and with it I’ve earned $90.16.

My second most profitable article is, “How to Mine a Cryptocurrency That Monitors Air Quality (and make ~$207/mo)” and has given me $87.58.

That was the 6th article published and I was really proud to share my experience getting rewarded in the PLANETS token.

About PLANETS: With mining, I’m also earning passive income. I plug in my device and watch the “dolla bills” roll in. Well, not really, but I make decent money doing absolutely nothing.

In a sense, as I’m earning money for writing that article, I’m earning passive income on my passive income stream. Go figure :)
